- #1 FREE! I use it in Linux to connect to Windows servers for a couple reasons. I also have the commercial version of TeamViewer. (But TV only see one person/user/login) Remmina I can login as another remote user, SET MY SCREEN RES!!! That is the most important thing when logging in on a small high res screen. Windows removed scaling. :( Guest • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

I am not sure that this should be considered "free". The target machine has to have an advanced version of Windows OS installed to use RDC.

The icon for the Mac version of this actually looks better than the icon in the Windows version. True story.

See? Gorgeous. Microsoft needs to get their act together... and make some better-looking icons for their Windows apps.
