I tried it a couple of times and stopped both times because it puts it own password dialogue box up for my password. I assume it wants to

- No other piece of screen sharing software needs this.
- You’ve not told me what you need it for.
- Even if valid, no user level software should have my plaintext password. Make a request to the system, it will prompt me.

I’ve had an amazing time remoting into friends and families windows machines from my linux box, and they were able to install rustdesk very easily. It’s incredibly streamlined and has been so helpful when I need it.

How’s this compare against Moonlight?
I used to use RustDesk but changed to Moonlight/Sunshine because it doesn’t need hosting a server to make sure my data isn’t sent to some random Chinese server (I remember having read something about it a while ago, don’t know if it’s still an issue)

it absolutely is. used it for work and it fit our needs perfectly. I wonder how much improvement it has undergone in the year it’s been since I’ve used it.
It’s pretty nice, although IME it’s really crashy.
