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?
Thincast on flathub?
Krdc is pretty good too
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.
Remmina is one of the best at the moment IMO, but both Gnome and KDE have very capable clients as well.
seconding remmina, I use it often for RDP activities.

KRDC?
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.
+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!
I am using remmina daily for work, it is working well for me.
Have you tried gnome connections? It’s more on the “quick and easy” rather than “professional” side, but maybe it does the job.
Tho I wonder whether it’s more of a windows-side issue… maybe windows 11 requires some kind of online authentication that cannot be implemented by other clients, and maybe this authentication can be turned off. I’m merely speculating here, but I know that remmina works for windows 10 so it’s suspicious.
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.
