RustDesk Remote Desktop

I have been using this software daily for roughly 2 years now. It is significantly more feature rich and responsive than TeamViewer, AnyDesk or any of the other Remote Desktop alternatives. New features are constantly being added and the latency and quality are unparalleled by any other software that remotely (pun intended) attempts to call itself "Remote Desktop software". If you're fed up with TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. and want full control over your remote sessions, this is the software to use. You can even host your own server to keep everything fast and private. Great job developers! There is only 1 caveat I have noticed. The app collects location and identifier data. Not a fan of this. Diagnostics are fine, but for OSS, location and identifiers, albeit not linked to my personal identifier, is uncharacteristic of the open source philosophy.

I really like this app. The only reason I haven’t fully switched from TeamViewer is that when I remote into my PC, I can’t properly control my virtual machines. While clicking works fine, the keyboard either repeats keys or fails to register them. I hope this issue can be resolved in a future update.

I love rustdesk. I have been using chrome Remote Desktop for years and have been looking for something that is free and doesn’t require me to log into my Google account on every machine (and actually works on Mac because chrome Remote Desktop does not despite what the website claims). This is as close to the Bomgar BeyondTrust system that I use at work as I have seen in a free version of any software. As a convert from chrome Remote Desktop, getting used to the mouse controls is annoying. 1 finger press and hold then drag for hold left click and move and 2 finger move for scrolling is what I am used to. Having some way to remap those controls would be amazing. But I understand that this is most likely a very difficult or nearly impossible task depending on how the app is built. Also having the remote screen center itself when zooming would be nice.
