I made the jump off windows to EndeavourOS. I work from home most days of the week, and as such RDP to my workstation(laptop on a dock nearby).
I need an RDP client that can authenticate to win11 RDP, and support audio/mic to the session. Being able to span dual-screen is a plus.
I can’t install any software on the work PC as I do not want to fall foul of the security team.
RDesktop doesn’t support mic input. Remmina doesn’t appear to authenticate to win11 properly. FreeRDP not updated in 8 years?
Remmina is one of the best at the moment IMO, but both Gnome and KDE have very capable clients as well.
FreeRDP is actively developed: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP
I use it every day to connect to a Win11 desktop. I don’t pass-through audio/mic so I can’t confirm if that’s working or not.
xrdp worked fine for me. Note that it’s a no-nonsense tool: give it the adress and it displays the window with the remote, done.
You need to change a setting in windows for remmina to work. I don’t remember which one it was but I think it was some where in the remotedesktop settings.
I would like to reiterate freerdp - i had to use it because my customer (i am an it consultant) uses a Windows vdi. Had to use openconnect-sso(aur) vpn to log in with the Microsoft account they gave me, in case someone is also desperately trying to avoid having to install windows.
KRDC?
