Don't use the stock Windows remote desktop app. Use some thing else. I remember it screwing up thing that made it impossible to use to remote into Windows crunchers.
I tried using Remote Desktop to access a Windows11 cruncher and it disabled the gpu on the target computer. What a waste of $200 for Win11 Pro.
I'll be migrating both Windows machines to Linux.

Did it knock the gpu's off-line permanently or only for the duration of the connection? Because Windows is notorious for knocking it off while the connection is active but then releasing the gpu when the remote connection is over.
The same thing happens in an environment where multiple people use the same pc, in Windows, and someone else logs in and the gpu gets knocked off-line.

I think that is the normal behavior. GPU computation disabled when remote connection is active in windows and then activates when disconnected. I have seen that the GPUs might take a "minute" to start computation again once the connection is broken.
What I want to know is whether there is any support for virtual reality headsets ie. is compatible with the driver package I have for the Steam based game Elite Dangerous. That is literally the only reason I have a Windows (10) machine at all : to play that game - and I haven't seen any Linux support for VR.
Cheers, Mike.

So, my humble experiance with Windows...as it all stated with Windows 3,11. :D
Updated then DOS to Windows 95, after a install of OS/2 was not so great...Windows 95 was buggy, so was the Windows 98 - which got a little bit more better!
Then came the awful Windows ME, which was tried out...not so good, turned back to professional Windows 2000 & on some builds Windows XP...things got a little better there! Best thing was to:
use dual-CPU motherboard, which could not crash even with one program hanging!
use of USB stick for ReadyBoost - this improved the HDD working greatly...1st it was with a simple programing, but Windows 7 made it integrated into a system!
Windows Vista was a drop, passed this one out after test. To get to Windows 7, which was a great experiance...even passing the tested Windows 8 & 8,1..but Windows 7 was a way to go, as was the WinXP - until the EOS!
Then came a "free upgrade to Windows 10" & I tested it & went with it...many of my systems operated & now are on Windows 10. Now only my work related computers are on Windows 11, unless I need to switch ti higher version with EOS for Windows 10!
Some things I have learned:
having a large RAM will speed up the system, but slow down the HDD / SSD beacuse of swap file
RAID 10 does not need ReadyBoost option, as is quicker than USB 2.0
Windows 10 is almost indestructable!
cracking Windows might be cool, but why bother when keys are about ~10EUR for an OS
always use temperature controlled app for monitoring your GPUs, as those will get fried (sooner or later)...my preferance is freeware Tthrottle
monitoring of seveal GPUs will not work in Tthrottle, so need of HWmonitor or GPU-Z is neede (both are supported)
My personal experience is very similar to yours; the good, the bad, and the ugly. I was given my first PC back in 1984 to be able to write a data base of customers & clients for the purpose of generating sales. It was a painful experience by today's standards.
But, I digress... I've moved to Linux computers roughly 5 yrs ago and I'll never regret it. My teammates convinced me to make the move to Ubuntu because they were also on Ubuntu and knew it well enough to help me when I got into trouble... which was very often at first. I'm not a 'gamer', so that never played into my hand.
My reason for making the switch from Windows to Linux was an easy one, I got sick and tired of Window$ making unnecessary changes for the sake of making changes and then they'd have to either backtrack and delete or continue to make more changes to the unnecessary changes they already made.
And talk about BLOATWARE! My god, if you did a bloatware removal with a software like 10AppsManager, Windows10Debloater, etc., or go to https://github.com/Fs00/Win10BloatRemover and download their version, you would loose up to HALF of what Window$ had installed, and it ran better and faster than before.
It was a pain in the arse to constantly be on the lookout for Window$ making unwanted changes, and all for rightful(?) privilege of running Window$? Not when they began their "You no longer own your operating system" campaign. That made it easy for me to decide to switch, and as I said before: "I'll never regret it."

I get your point, as I had some 10y ago started to use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...& upgrading them to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - which worked great...unfortunately Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was too slow for work with or without BOINC, so I reverted to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & stopped using them. This is probably because of the obsolete hardware using Q9400S with DDR2 design.
After EOL for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I have decided to retire the machines & not use them. Wanted to use extended support, but the price was ridiculous - especially compared that I can get Win10/11 for sthg like ~10EUR.
So now I use Windows as main computer & iOS for phone with MacBook for connection with it. This is the best setup for me, as Linux was so slow with 20.04 LTS, that it got me reminded of how slow Androids are! More to me is user experience, but then again my computers work usually 24/7 & only reboot for updates - so I am not an average user here.

Another "skin deep" only Windows clone? What is not clear is how Windowsie it looks when you get down into the weeds.
My own experience is inevitably the Linux bones show up.
