I’ve been using rustdesk for while, and it works very well for me. The news of it being somewhat opaque, and developed from China, makes me a bit nervous.
Is there a FOSS equivalent that won’t make me jump through hoops, and be easily installed by someone else remotely?
I would like to be able to have it run at startup in Linux and windows, have a fairly complete feature set, like file transfer, copy paste, etc.
Also it’d be great if it could be easily installed by someone else remotely. I do SMB support, usually onsite, which is why it’s not cost effective to pay for a Teamviewer or Anydesk license.
I’m taking a look through flathub, but recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
If you’re comfortable with Rustdesk but wary of the developer, you could try HopToDesk, which is a fork of Rustdesk but the company is based in the US.
Based in the US makes it good?

Beware of hoptodesk, it’s even more sketchy.
Thanks. I’m trying out HopToDesk. As I understand it’s a clone. Works pretty well. I hope they don’t pull any shenanigans
