I generated a custom client for Linux but for some reason the Custom AppName is not being applied properly. It is still called RustDesk.
Custom Company Name works fine.

Also, for Linux and Android clients, the Display-Name setting doesn't work either. The generated client for Linux still sends the current username when connecting from Linux to other platforms instead of the custom Display-Name and the generated client for Android still sends the phone brand/model when connecting from Android to other platforms instead of the custom Display-Name. This setting works fine when using the generated Windows client and connecting from Windows to other platforms.
