I also experimented a lot with remote desktop solutions.

# For client, I use:

- Remmina - https://remmina.org/

- Apache Guacamole (HTML5, browser based) - https://guacamole.apache.org/

# For server on Linux I use:

- X11: xrdp - for a KDE guide, see https://pilabor.com/blog/2021/05/remote-desktop-with-xrdp-an...

- Wayland / GNOME: Already integrated (alpha state, some caveats) - for a guide, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/-/snippets/1778 (read the comments first, there is some good additional info and I think someone has crafted a script)

# Further notes:

- RDP Server on Linux is very fiddly to get working reliable, while on X11 systems I found xrdp pretty straight forward - this link was pretty helpful: http://c-nergy.be/blog/?cat=79

- On modern GNOME systems the RDP server is already integrated, but there is a lot of missing stuff and I did not find a solution for a working RDP after reboot

- Remmina as RDP client is good, but it takes some fiddling, if you are using HiDPI

- Guacamole is not as good, but I use it as backup, which works in the browser
