AnyDesk seems like the most obvious drop-in replacement. It's not awful either, I've used it for remote video editing quite successfully. I'm less thrilled that for both AD and TV the client and server is the same application. I want to be able to connect to other people's computers without ever having something hook into or have the possibility to display my own desktop.

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: https://anydesk.com/en/whitelist-request

      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.
