Underexplained, permanent system config changes? That just about counts as malware, in my book.

(Since I use sway on Ubuntu, rather than gdm, I’d argue it’s a capital offense, but YMMV.)

I am not a user of rustdesk. But from its source code[1], I think does have some warnings about the change. It says,

> "Warning" > "Current Wayland display server is not supported" > `Fix it` => a button triggers system gdm config change > A 'Help' link to github, showing how to change the config manaully.

I wouldn't count it as malware. But I don't think it's OK to change the system configuration by pressing a button of a remote desktop software. It should simply provide a link to user instead.

It doesn't adequately explain what it does before having you ruing your configuration nor should it really be part of this application. An informative message explaining that the application doesn't work on wayland, why, and a link to a page with solutions would have been much better and not placed the user at risk.
