### ~~X11 Required~~
~~RustDesk does not support Wayland yet; you need switch to X11 manually.~~

RustDesk now has experimental Wayland support. You may need to download the [nightly version](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/releases/tag/nightly) to enable this feature.

#### Display Server

#### Permissions Issue

If SELinux is enabled, RustDesk will not work properly in either X11 or Wayland environments, related [issues](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Arustdesk%2Frustdesk+SElinux&type=issues).

You can run:

```bash
$ sudo grep 'comm="rustdesk"' /var/log/audit/audit.log | tail -1
type=AVC msg=audit(1697902459.165:707): avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=31346 comm="rustdesk" dest=53330 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ephemeral_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0
```

**NOTE**: The number in parentheses after audit is timestamp.

If the output contains `avc: denied`, you need to add SElinux policies, please refer to [SELinux](./selinux/).
