I just have one word for you: TightVNC.

That's what made me uninstall RustDesk.

I have three words for you: read the docs.

If you're experiencing a bug that pegs you're CPU, fair enough. But RustDesk is video-stream based (in many formats), while TightVNC is image(-region) based. This is actually similar to why you watch movies in, say, H.264 rather than Motion JPEG¹.

¹=similar, not same.

Why not TigerVNC?

> TigerVNC was originally based on the (never-released) VNC 4 branch of TightVNC.

It seems to be popular, that’s why I’m asking.
