> There's no good alternatives on Linux

Maybe I misunderstand what this refers to but there are RDP software for Linux. I've used remmina [1] on Linux for a few years (now I am using VMWare Horizon at work).

I tried a few solutions a few years ago to see if there are any alternatives to MS RDP, but at that time i found them all to be lacking. Mostly remote screen was not as responsive as RDP.

A simple test was to play Youtube video on remote machine and compare results of all Linux solutions with MS RDP. None came close.

I hope things changed in past few years if anyone knows?

Me and a few people made ourselves some weird "VDI"-like workstations as VMware virtual machines, not that long time ago. Those run Ubuntu. I was fine with plain ssh, but my boss pushed his setup to the limits and used that as his main computer. He even gave away company laptop and used only private one to RDP into that (through some corporate vdi auth, but still RDP).

On that vm side it was xrdp. He had multimonitor setup working, sound, video, he even used zoom daily.

Client was windows, it passed through camera and so on.

I could not tell I was using something remotely, even if I was just using mouse and keyboard, sitting directly in front of those monitors.

One gotcha was that these were very fast VMs on fast network.

There are decent clients, but no decent rdp server software yet that I've found.

That said krdp looks promising, but I haven't gotten it to work yet.

What was the problem with Xrdp? I use it every day from both Windows and Linux clients and haven't had issues.
