Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Still cannot recreate the responsiveness and auto-adapting resolution/DPI nature of Windows RDP in Linux. I want to be able to remotely connect from a laptop, desktop, etc and have it adapt to the client resolution and everything be clear and responsive and support keyboard shortcuts and re-up my existing session. Bandwidth isn't the issue here, typically 5+ gbps fiber. Have tried xrdp, various VNC clients, gnome remote desktop, nomachine, AnyDesk, rustdesk, parsec, etc.

This is actually the only thing holding me back.

I run multiple Linux VMs or LXCs (Debian, Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu...probably others) but making it my one and only primary just hasn't worked out.

remmina.

Auto scaling works way better than in the native msdtc client.
