KRDC, alternative Linux à Microsoft Remote Desktop

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

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.

Capture d’écran de KRDC

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • 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

Ce qui change

  • 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

Ouvrir vos fichiers 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.
