I've had very good luck with xrdp, as it's easily one of the most mature, feature-complete RDP clients. It doesn't come with a GUI, but this can be a positive if you're looking for a streamlined client that launches from the command line minus the extra clutter. Gnome Connections is a newer remote desktop client that might also be worth looking into as it's supposed to natively support multi-monitor: https://feborg.es/announcing-gnome-connections/ -Josh On Tue, 2020-04-28 at 19:51 -0400, Richard Klein via WLUG wrote:
I worked in Remmina all day. It doesn't support multiple monitors, which can be painful. It also doesn't trap all keypresses for the remote session, so I had to get used to using only the left CTRL key, for instance.
I just tried this solution, and it worked for dual monitors. I just logged in and logged out, though, so I can't really comment on if it's a better solution. It looks promising, though. https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/linux-remote-desktop-multiple-monitor-su...

Don't ask me why, but I've found lowering the color depth can help with remmina failing to connect.

Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] RDP into Win10 with Remmina
I'm getting tired of booting into Windows for work. I figured out how to connect to the VPN from Debian, but it would be very helpful to RDP into the workstation in my office.
I know the URL for my workstation, the domain, the username, and the password, but I'm failing to get it to work. What should I try?
Remmina says "Connecting to <server>..." for a minute, then fails with "Connection to RDP server <server> failed."
