Connecting to Gnome's built-in RDP server on Fedora from macOS Windows App

Sun Dec 28 2025

Issue

Windows App (previously Microsoft Remote Desktop) has some bugs that make it incompatible with Fedora Gnome built-in RDP server.

Fix

Export the RDP configuration file from Windows App, open it with a text editor, add this line to the bottom

use redirection server name:i:1

Then re-import the file, this should do the trick.
