AnyDesk 8 Launch: Users Express Disappointment Over Lack of Wayland Support

Recently, AnyDesk 8 was launched, and many users have been sharing their experiences through forums and social media. A recurring topic is the lack of support for Wayland, a protocol that has gained traction, particularly among users of various Linux distributions.

Some users have expressed disappointment upon discovering that, despite the new version, AnyDesk still does not support Wayland. This has led to frustration for many, as these functionalities have been long requested. For those using desktop environments like GNOME, the lack of compatibility means they may face usability challenges.

As a temporary workaround, it is suggested that users check their remote desktop settings in the operating system under GNOME. Accessing Settings -> System -> Remote Desktop may offer alternative options for remote connection, although this won’t resolve the underlying compatibility issue with Wayland.

We recognize that this is a significant concern for users seeking a seamless and efficient remote desktop management experience. At AnyDesk, we value our users’ feedback and are continuously striving for improvement. We appreciate your comments regarding the features you wish to see in future updates.

We will keep our community informed about any developments related to Wayland support in upcoming versions of AnyDesk. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver the best possible user experience.
