RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland

RustDesk’s preview build adds unattended Wayland access, including multi-monitor sessions and reconnecting at the login screen after reboot. It currently targets x86_64 Debian/Ubuntu systems; Fedora, Arch, and the standard release are planned after more real-world testing.

HN readers mostly asked about the implementation and practical boundary with VNC/Xpra, while others highlighted the value for self-hosted Linux desktops and servers. The thread also surfaced a password-policy debate unrelated to the Wayland feature.
