I had the opposite experience with RDP and Debian 12 / GNOME 45. It marks the release where I can easily tell family how to enable RDP in GNOME from the settings (or do it myself if ssh is available). Next release had even more refinement: https://release.gnome.org/46/#remote-login-with-rdp

'grdctl' managed to be able to configure everything with RDP the gui does. VPNs help to secure the port though. I wonder if your experience hinges on trying to work it out with vnc instead of rdp.

Bump to say that I have also had a much better experience with rdp on Debian 12 using freerdp. The amount of settings I am able to tweak means that my experience is 100% better using Linux connected to a windows machine vs Microsoft rdp to windows. Better scaling, better frame time, better color quality, no audio issues. I am even able to watch a YouTube video or something without noticing the difference most of the time. And this is with 2 1440p screens and 2 1080p screens in multi monitor mode, full resolution, 24bpp. Using windows rdp I get color blocking, audio fuzziness and terrible lag, especially if I try to go multi monitor.
