Is xfreerdp different than xrdp, or are those the same thing?  xfreerdp is what I used all day today, and it was pretty good, aside from the slow VPN I'm working through.  Sound wasn't working, but I don't need that for work and I didn't try to get it to work.  A GUI wouldn't be terrible.  I'll check out Gnome Connections.

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:

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.

That worked!  I'm not sure the problem is the color depth, per se, but rather the codec (or whatever it's called in this context).  I changed it to 24 bpp, but there were several 32 bpp options that I didn't try:

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."
