RustDesk vs. AnyDesk: eine gute Linux-Alternative?

RustDesk als Linux-Alternative zu AnyDesk

Aktualisiert am 19. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

RustDesk is a solid open‑source alternative to AnyDesk for most remote‑desktop scenarios. It offers low‑latency screen sharing, remote control, and encrypted file transfer across the same platforms, and its self‑hostable server gives you full data control. It works well for individuals, small teams, or anyone who prefers not to rely on a proprietary service, though enterprises that need official support contracts or advanced management features may still favor AnyDesk.

Was gleich funktioniert

Cross‑platform remote desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS)
Low‑latency screen sharing with hardware‑accelerated codecs
Remote control with mouse/keyboard input
Encrypted file transfer
End‑to‑end encryption for data in transit

Was anders ist

RustDesk is self‑hostable; AnyDesk uses a managed cloud service
AnyDesk provides a commercial support SLA and device‑management console, which RustDesk lacks
RustDesk’s UI is more minimal and may miss some enterprise‑grade features like session logging
AnyDesk offers a proprietary relay network that can be faster in restrictive NAT environments
RustDesk’s licensing is AGPL‑3.0, AnyDesk is proprietary

Ihre AnyDesk-Dateien öffnen

Both programs store transferred files locally on the receiving machine; there is no proprietary file format to convert. If you have files saved from an AnyDesk session, you can simply copy them again using RustDesk’s file‑transfer dialog. No special export step is required.

Von AnyDesk zu RustDesk wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Download and install RustDesk from Flathub or the official website on all target machines.
If you want full data control, set up a RustDesk relay/self‑hosted server following the instructions on the RustDesk site.
Configure each client with the server address (or leave blank for direct P2P).
Test a connection by sharing the RustDesk ID and establishing a session.
Replace AnyDesk shortcuts with RustDesk shortcuts on desktops or start menus.
Optionally, disable or uninstall AnyDesk to avoid port conflicts.

Häufige Fragen

Does RustDesk require an internet connection?

Yes, unless both machines are on the same local network and you use the direct P2P mode; otherwise it uses the internet to traverse NAT.

Can I use RustDesk without a self‑hosted server?

Yes, RustDesk provides public relay servers for fallback, so you can start immediately without any server setup.

Is the performance comparable to AnyDesk?

In most home or small‑office setups the latency and video quality are similar, though AnyDesk’s proprietary relay may be slightly faster in very constrained networks.
