Hi Pliny
Wow, that's great that it worked for you! However, pls see the following reply [received within only the past hour] from the AnyDesk Linux Dev, with whom i'm now in contact over this problem. I suspect he's incorrect about Wayland [Devs or anyone else knowledgeable - pls comment], as i'd thought Wayland was on the future roadmap for Maui, rather than being already deployed...?

Quote:Maui Linux is not official supported by us. And if I remember correctly Maui Linux is Wayland based, which is currently not supported by us. The reason you dont get a response is because the backend (which grabs the image, etc) crashed due to the missing Xorg APIs (XWayland is not capable of all needed APIs). The reason you even see a window is that Wayland tries to start its own XWayland server and use that as a proxy for AnyDesk.
We plan on supporting wayland, but I cannot give you a date when we will be working on it. For now we have a List on our Homepage on official supported Linux Distributions on which AnyDesk will run. The Firewall and VPN shouldnt be a problem though.
