I just installed Ubuntu 25.10, enabled rdp through the settings menu and ensured firewall port was open. I can connect using rdp with windows just fine. However, when trying to connect using my Ubuntu 24.04 laptop, remmina just immediately closes after connecting. I remember having this issue long ago with Ubuntu 18 or 20? Sucks to suck ubuntu.

Suggest me a new disto for my 3D modeling, ECAD, old gaming and general fun rig. Its an Intel 13th gen cpu and Nvidia 30s series GFX, if it matters.

    That is operating under the assumption that you aren’t using Wayland, as far as I could determine after a few hours of tinkering the only way to get a remote desktop to work under Wayland is by using an app that queries the xdg portal since Wayland’s harden permissions will stop xwayland based remote desktop solutions.

    I use rustdesk over LAN for my remote desktop which has been rather stable and quick, although I don’t know the exact protocol that it uses, so if rdp is necessary I wouldn’t know of that is satisfactory for op’s needs.
