Nope thanks, after this "fix" for wayland support on linux i do not touch this software https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/blob/1.1.9/src/platform/linux.rs#L411-L422 Basically editing the config to disable wayland without user interaction.

I had no idea! That's mental.

That file is disturbing. Why does it do everything via external processes and shell commands? Stuff like calling ls -l to list files in a directory is not portable, and parsing the output of commands intended for humans and building shell commands without careful escaping is dangerous.
