I've been using RDC to connect to other windows pcs on my local network but lately they have been getting issue. Has microsoft changed anything or i thought i read where they where no longer supporting RDC anymore.

Anyway is there a free option that may work better? I self host a lot of things been toying with the idea on trying a self hosted version.
 
I've tried a few things, including NoMachine and RDC. I've ended up using a KVM over ethernet solution with so-so results; I had to dedicate the one line to this, but since I have 10 ports in my office that's fine, but on top of that, it seems to freeze and/or lose the keyboard/mouse every so often (about a week or so). It's by far given me the best results.
 
I use Ubuntu RDC (Remmina) with Windows and BSD and Linux desktop servers. Remmina does VNC and RDP.

I have no issues.

I also have used NoMachine. I would recommend it for Windows users.

I do not use Windows 11 desktop to remote to any devices on my network.

A while back switched my automation servers from Windows desktop to Windows servers then to Linux servers.

I still utilize an 16 port KVM with remote network access to all of the clients on it. (old and still works for me).

I used to use a KVM switch but they are hit and miss plus all the extra cables, RDC has been less of a pain lol

Part of my issue is my main display is 5k.
 
Here all of the "servers" are in the basement on a wire rack. You can utilize the old free version of VNC. Works well inside your network.
