To connect to my virtual machine I use xfreerdp. Unfortunately, I feel too poor performance. For example, the machine has Windows 10, so when minimizing windows, you can see one frame of animation. I also wanted to watch something, eg. YouTube, but the problem is the same, even greater (animation frames do not allow for comfortable watching). Is it possible to somehow improve the performance of the connection? (I use Ubuntu, but I know that by using Remote Desktop Connection for Windows, the connection is better)
My current configuration:
xfreerdp /u:xxxx /p:xxxx /bpp:8 /cert-ignore /v:xxx /gdi:hw +clipboard +fonts +async-input +async-update /f -offscreen-cache -glyph-cache
I have similar issues with a CentOS 7 host, with Windows 10 running in a VM under KVM. I have used "Adjust for best performance" as suggested in my answer below, and I haven't tried watching any video, so I haven't obeserved the same performance issues as described in the question above. However, I simply observed that rapidly dragging the scroll bar thumb up and down in the Start Menu → All apps list can result in nothing happening for around 10 seconds before what is on the screen finally catches up. – doshea – 2016-07-24T01:45:34.700
