These clients often perform badly with exodesk, such as having lag and distorted sound. The current workaround is to use FreeRDP. I don't know if there are any other good RDP clients.

Using 16-bit color instead of 32 may help somewhat with performance.

I've found that it really helps in the Microsoft RDP clients to make sure you have enabled 16-bit color and resize on window resize in the connection settings and that you aren't in fullscreen after connecting. Of course, FreeRDP is a better option if it's avaliable.

Even FreeRDP performs badly during gaming on a LAN. See the workaround above if you're having trouble with this.

If you only want to listen to some audio, I recommend resizing the window as small as possible.

Now that exodesk is a thing, you no longer have to use Microsoft RDP clients anyways, so I'm closing this for now. I can't think of anything anyways that would further improve performance.
