FreeRDP como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Remote Desktop
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
FreeRDP is a solid, native Linux replacement for Microsoft Remote Desktop. It handles the core job well: connecting to Windows machines via RDP with full input integration. If you need to manage multiple Windows servers or access corporate desktops from Linux, this is the standard choice. It lacks some of the polished GUI features of the Windows client, but the underlying protocol support is strong. Best for sysadmins and power users comfortable with command-line configuration or simple GUIs like Remmina. Don't expect a one-click identical experience; you will spend time tuning settings for optimal performance.

Lo que funciona igual
- Connects to Windows and Linux hosts using the RDP protocol
- Supports standard Windows authentication methods like NTLM and Kerberos
- Allows clipboard sharing and file transfer via drive redirection
- Handles keyboard and mouse input mapping for remote sessions
Lo que cambia
- No built-in, polished graphical interface by default; often used as a backend for other apps
- Lacks the automatic discovery and simple 'Add PC' workflow of the Windows client
- Configuration is often done via command-line arguments or config files rather than a unified GUI
- Missing some advanced Windows-specific features like dynamic session reconnection polish found in newer Windows clients
Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Remote Desktop
FreeRDP does not natively open Microsoft Remote Desktop (.rdp) files directly in a way that preserves all complex settings automatically. While you can manually map the parameters from an .rdp file to FreeRDP command-line arguments, there is no official one-click import tool. You will likely need to re-enter connection details, resolution, and redirection settings manually in your preferred frontend like Remmina or via CLI flags.
Pasar de Microsoft Remote Desktop a FreeRDP, paso a paso
- Install FreeRDP and a frontend like Remmina or xfreerdp from your distro repository
- Export your current .rdp files to document connection targets and settings
- Create new connections in your frontend, entering the IP address and username
- Configure drive redirection and clipboard sharing in the connection settings
- Test the connection to verify audio, video, and input responsiveness
- Save the profile for quick access in the future
