    Teamviewer connects to other TV hosted computers. Remmina is a CLIENT not a server like TV is. Remmina supports SSH tunneling as well for RDP connections. TV doesn't. TV connects to TV. Remmina connects to VNC, RDP etc.

    Rustdesk is like Teamviewer, both are nothing like Remmina is. RD/TV are servers as well. Remmina is purely a CLIENT connection manager.
