Research direction
Start with the SELinux instructions at https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/client/linux/selinux/ and reproduce the reported setup on Fedora 39 with Wayland using RustDesk 1.2.4 nightly. Compare the documented policies with the reported workaround in issue 3565; the documentation is done when remote mouse and keyboard input work after following the instructions.
