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.

    Yea I had issues with RDP too until I got a “good enough” setup using freerdp with a bunch of command line arguments/config settings to make it fast enough for me to tolerate. Have a play around with those and see if you can get it to a tolerable state.

    Out of the box it was indeed pretty much unusable for me but I really don’t tolerate latency much at all.

        Well, your mileage may vary of course, it depends a lot on the connection between you and the endpoint as well as your own tolerance - it was never 100% as fast as on Windows but I think I got it from like 50% at the start, to like 85-90% as good, something like that. I think there were a bunch of command line switches that were marked as beta or something that helped quite a bit.
