...so, no Wayland issues? Java dependency isn't mentioned anywhere :thumbs_up:
I'm a paid user of ConnectWise Access and luckily I predominantly support Windows PCs and Servers, as the ConnectWise Linux agent is less than ideal. -

Fedora is working now.
Don't know why, installed again and it worked.
Did the install on Fedora require any different or additional steps compared to the Ubuntu instructions?
What flavor of Fedora did you use?

Playing around with this and it looks promising. Running into what looks like a conflict induced by our AV solution (TrendMicro) on the client.

I think the Fedora install might have only been the client side, not the server side.

Did not install the server on Fedora. The server is on Ubuntu. The client worked on Fedora, and without any effort like ScreenConnect. Fedora 29 Cinnamon, a vanilla install. Just worked.

Yup, haven't seen anything that isn't NodeJS. But no idea what the agents are written in.

No, haven't seen any need for it yet. The system is still lightning fast.

Does the software establish a connection outside the managed network or do you have to vpn to the network to reach the management server?

I asked if I need to be on the highway to get to my destination, or if I can take surface streets and you told me to use snow tires. WTF?

It depends on how you setup MeshCentral and how lockdown your devices and/or network is.
With MeshCentral, you can set it up has a LAN only, WAN only or LAN+WAN (hybrid).
You can also restrict access via IP address for User or Agent. -
