tl;dr: RustDesk has released a preview build enabling true unattended remote access on Wayland, including multi-monitor support and connections from the login screen after reboot. The preview is currently limited to x86_64 Debian/Ubuntu systems, with Fedora and Arch support planned once stable. This puts RustDesk ahead of competitors like AnyDesk (which still requires Xorg) and TeamViewer (which considers Wayland support experimental).
HN Discussion:
  • Concerns about RustDesk's security, particularly lack of encryption for self-hosted connections
  • Enthusiastic praise for RustDesk and appreciation for this specific fix
  • Questions comparing RustDesk to alternatives like VNC, Remmina/SSH, or Sunshine/Moonlight
  • Technical curiosity about how the Wayland unattended access works under the hood
  • ~Questions about missing features like microphone passthrough or screen-on requirements
