Teamviewer Linux has the annoying property of installing a permanently running daemon. This not only consumes resources but also presents a security risk. You can disable the daemon startup, however then the teamviewer client does not work anymore.

On ubuntu 18.04, here how I solve this
Stop autostart demon
$sudo systemctl disabled teamviewerd.service
create script /opt/tm.sh
#!/bin/bash
pkexec --user root systemctl start teamviewerd.service;
/opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/script/teamviewer;
pkexec --user root systemctl stop teamviewerd.service;
Set bash script executable
chmod u+x /top/tm.sh
Update de /usr/share/applications/com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.desktop
Exec=/opt/tm.sh
It work perfecly for my needs. I only need to connect to other computer never to mine, so root deamon always running is not needed.
Let's see how it live with update from ppa of Teamviewer
The solution Fedora 30+ is:
# systemctl disable teamviewerd.service
# systemctl stop teamviewerd.service
But don't forget to start the service again in order to get a TeamViewer ID.
# systemctl start teamviewerd.service
