Rustdesk is amazing. I was using it just 2 days ago and ran into this hiccup, so it's a pleasure to see it resolved

What is rustdesk and how is it distinct from vnc?
Edit: i appreciate the explanations; thank you.

I have used Remmina over SSH and Tailscale (and generally don’t trust remote desktop tools), which is mentioned in various places by my operating system provider.
How does RustDesk compare with that?

Is there a reason to use this over something like Sunshine/Moonlight?

The problem I have with RustDesk is that self-hosting the server forces you to accept zero authentication (meaning anyone can use it to host streams for free), so you end up having to run it through a VPN which also decreases performance and latency, and makes it unusable as an easy IT help tool like people have been doing with VNC since forever (unless you relegate to using the slower public server controlled by who knows what).
And since the paid pro version does have authentication, I think it's unlikely to ever show up in the free version.

Does my screen have to be on?

I have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to my TV and whenever I need to control it from my laptop (getting and interacting with the same screen on my laptop that I see on my TV) I have been using VNC. It is quite slow. Would this work better for that use case or is it really intended for something different? (And if the latter are there better solutions than VNC for what I want to do?)

Does it framebuffer grab the current session and inject input events?
