KRDC como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Remote Desktop

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

KRDC is a solid replacement for Microsoft Remote Desktop for Linux users who need to connect to Windows machines via RDP. It covers most everyday tasks: connecting, full‑screen mode, keyboard/mouse integration, and encryption. It is ideal for KDE users who want a native, open‑source client. However, it lacks some advanced features that Windows users might expect, such as multi‑session handling and built‑in file transfer. Overall, KRDC works well for standard remote‑desktop use cases.

Lo que funciona igual

  • Both use the RDP protocol to connect to Windows machines
  • Support full‑screen and windowed display modes
  • Provide keyboard and mouse integration
  • Encrypt connections (TLS for KRDC, optional in Microsoft Remote Desktop)
  • Allow remote control of the desktop

Lo que cambia

  • KRDC does not support simultaneous multiple RDP sessions from a single client
  • No native file‑transfer feature (VNC can be used but requires separate setup)
  • KRDC lacks the Windows‑specific authentication options like NTLM/kerberos integration out of the box
  • No built‑in clipboard sync between local and remote
  • KRDC is KDE‑centric and may not integrate with non‑KDE desktop environments as tightly as Microsoft Remote Desktop does in Windows

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Remote Desktop

Microsoft Remote Desktop does not use a standard file format that KRDC can import or export. Users cannot directly open or export connection files from the Windows client into KRDC. Connection details must be entered manually or saved as bookmarks within KRDC.

Pasar de Microsoft Remote Desktop a KRDC, paso a paso

  1. Open KRDC from the application menu.
  2. Select "New Connection" and choose "Remote Desktop (RDP)".
  3. Enter the Windows machine’s IP address or hostname, and provide credentials (use KDE Wallet if desired).
  4. Click "Connect" to establish the session. If needed, enable full‑screen or adjust scaling from the view menu.
