Package request: AnyDesk - remote access

[Buck Fankers]

Pretty please , looks like AnyDesk is better than Teamviewer, is there a chance to be added to the MXPI?

https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/linux

Or, if not, how can I get it to work on MX myself? I downloaded both versions, generic for Linux and the one for the Debian/Mint in both cases I got: anydesk-4.0.1-amd64.tar.gz sadly not the deb file. I extracted the file and I get what looks like working folder but I can't get it to work. I copied desktop file on the desktop, but it is not working. I probably need to copy folder somewhere into the root file system, would this make it to work? I wouldn't mind use an appimage, but I didn't find it on their site.

So at this point, I have no clue what to do next, but to ask for installation help or to be added to MXPI if possible.

OK, will prepare a PM-file for the package installer and send to D_O...

Well, with your help I got it downloaded and working, but since it is better than Teamviewer, may not be a bad idea to get it into the MXPI. Thanks again for all the help today. And always!

OK, send a PM-file to D_O, so AnyDesk installer within MX Package Installer -> "Populare Apps" will become available a.s.a.p.

Probably, OTOH a post with a subject line "Will be worthy to have in MX Repos..." might have been overlooked as a package request. It might be advisable to make it more visible as a package request rather a discussion paper....

... but since it (AnyDesk) is better than Teamviewer ...

Is there any representative comparison of functionality (AnyDesk vs Teamviewer)? I tested AnyDesk a year ago and in that time it was a bit unstable and slow (graphics).

I vote for Tixati!!! ... as a perfect (may be best) P2P client (fast, very reliable and robust)

NO problem for me. Works great.

Sorry for late reply. No, I'm not aware of representative comparison. Only statements from other users, some anonymous, some that I respect (@fehlix)
- you can run out of free limit
- teamviewer needs constantly running background service, you can mitigate but takes extra steps

One anonymous recent example (over time I saw several), here are comments on Distrowatch, about what backup app someones uses, that also turned slowly into MX comments, and some critique, interesting:

Someone (comment 45) referred to Teamviewer placed into MXPI popular application as:

ie. proprietary garbage like teamviewer some people want

In my case I will only use AnyDesk on computers I will install, so after installation I will already have every remote link/address, no need for sending 'invitations', to me seems better solution. Anyway, on first run I just like it a lot so it become my first choice.
