I’m helping a friend on a project in Windows. To be able to login to the system he had setup, I needed to use RDP. It’s been at least a few years since I’ve used RDP much so I did some research on what clients might be out there for Linux. My research pretty much stopped at the Ubuntu apps grid.
By default, Ubuntu 20.04 comes with Remmina. Since it was already installed, I gave it a try. It was easy to configure a connection and started up right away. One strange thing is that it does not by default resize the Windows screen to match your local screen, but its one click of the dynamic resolution update button to do that.
Beyond that, it works great and I’ve installed it on my Linux Mint laptop in case I want to use it from there. I’d still much rather just use the command line but you really can’t do everything in Windows that way so at least there is a good RDP client to make it less painful.
