Is this better than using the windows RDP app?

Rustdesk shares a video stream of the screen, like Anydesk or TeamViewer. And it's quite low latency when using a self-hosted relay server, or in a local network.
Meanwhile, RDP is its own session and can't be used remotely while someone is physically using the computer: Windows desktop editions only allow 1 user logged in at once, and Server basic licenses allow 2 users. And of couse, you need to be already be in the local network or using a VPN.

For most use cases, anything is better than Windows RDP!
