  An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

Thanks all of you.

We did some stupid things before, especially the Wayland "Fix it" button, no excuse, we have removed it, and been working hard to make Wayland support work. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/pull/932

We are also removing Sciter, rewriting the UI with Flutter, https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/tree/flutter_desktop. But Flutter does not support 32-bit Windows, we have to keep Sciter for 32-bit Windows version.

As an open source project, we only have very limit bandwidth for you, the connection is not reliable sometime if you use our public servers. That's why we encourage the selfhost, and open source the server.

Here is a good video for selfhost which can help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nzHm3xGz2I&t=1032s

We hope more contributors can join us to make it better.

Here is our milestones: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/918

• ZeroTier

  343 13,373 8.7 C++

  A Smart Ethernet Switch for Earth

  

Not 100% open source, but a good solution for controlling my parent's laptop when they need a hand with something (they live in England, I live in Scotland) is to use ZeroTier to set up a VPN and then use RDP built into Windows.

Works really, really well and doesn't try to wrongfully block me for 'commercial usage' like Teamviewer does.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• sciter-sdk

  10 2,070 1.6 C++

  Discontinued Sciter is an embeddable HTML/CSS/scripting engine

I'm a bit curious here.

I see that RustDesk is licensed AGPL 3.0. At the same time the GUI component (Sciter - https://www.sciter.com) is proprietary software with it's own non-compatible license (https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/blob/524a90ef7eab16575...).

Was the intention to use something like LGPL to stand on the shoulders of the external libraries or was the choice of AGPL just a hopeful goal with licensing issues to be resolved in the future?

  NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel module source

  

Looked around and seems pretty widespread. Links below to many issues, and some now fixed partially. Yeah, let's hope the open sourcing of those drivers make for a brighter future, but still I will do my damned best to never buy an nvidia product again.
