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?
I’ve used Remmina for win11 RDP, it seemed to be fully supported but its been a few years.
Remmina and Xrdp are probably the better RDP clients at the moment. I’ve had no problems using either to connect to Windows 10 desktops but have not tested Windows 11.
FreeRDP is used by most (all?) Linux RDP clients, it does have its own active development.
Could also try the Linux RDP client that Thincast has, still uses FreeRDP in the backend like the others but it does seem work well at least with Windows 10 (https://thincast.com/en/products/client).
Also for what it’s worth I’ve seen mention of a FreeRDP bug when the client fails to connect to Windows 11 with multi monitor enabled (since most Linux RDP clients use FreeRDP the bug affects them all too). Think the workaround for now is to disable multi-monitor in the RDP client settings before attempting to connect. Think it is getting fixed in the next FreeRDP release. No idea if that’s your issue but worth a look (e.g. https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/issues/3403)
Xrdp ?
