I agree fully with you. AnyDesk is pretty cool and mostly works well.

There's a small trick you can use: Run but don't install AnyDesk, that way it won't install its services and so on.

Simply don't ever click on the "Install" button in the app.

Unfortunately have the same "commercial limitation" of TV. RustDesk have none.

You can disable the "commercial usage detected" haressments easily enough:

it's still a commercial service, with RustDesk or MeshCentral I own/I can own if I wish the entire infra, so I can be let down by a third party problem.
