RustDesk adds Wayland unattended access, directly relevant to remote infrastructure and open-source tooling.
Summary
RustDesk released a preview build enabling true unattended remote access on Wayland for x86_64 Debian/Ubuntu systems, supporting multi-monitor setups and connections from the login screen after reboot. This fills a gap where competitors like AnyDesk require Xorg and TeamViewer still labels Wayland support as experimental. The feature will expand to Fedora and Arch Linux once stable.
