   Update:   
      
   I have had Rustdesk running for 24 hours continuously now and I prefer   
   it over TeamViewer and AnyDesk.   
      
   Just one thing , and I don't know if this is normal, when I connect to   
   the desktop on the 2nd computer, it loads onto my computer where I can   
   do what I need , but it also stays on the 2nd computer. Is that how it   
   works.
