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.

    Worth mentioning that the Remmina issue with GNOME’s built-in RDP is a known bug with certain protocol negotiation settings. Try these in Remmina:

    1. Connection → Security → set to “RDP” (not “Negotiate”)
    2. Under Advanced, disable “Network Level Authentication”

    If that doesn’t work, xfreerdp from the command line is more reliable:

    xfreerdp /v:your-server-ip /u:username /dynamic-resolution

    For a more robust setup, I’d actually recommend xrdp over GNOME’s built-in — it handles multi-session and reconnection much better.
