Not strictly “out of the box” since the setting isn’t enabled by default, but any distro with a recent version of GNOME installed will have RDP available. It’s ready to be toggled on in settings under System > Remote Desktop > Desktop Sharing:

Unfortunately, RDP always seems to be fiddly for me, it does that disconnect immediately after connecting that you described. Sometimes if I just keep hitting connect over and over, eventually it’ll get confused and stop disconnecting so that I can actually use the desktop for a while. YMMV.

KDE has KRDP, which has a KCM for KDE Plasma.

Upgrade it to Ubuntu 25.10 ?

Just install xrdp, do xrdp <url>, be done?

Might be off topic but if you are thinking of rdp for 3D modelling or gaming then IMHO there are better solutions, e.g. https://moonlight-stream.org/ or https://selkies-project.github.io/selkies/ so I’d argue it’s not a distro question, more a client/server one.

FWIW I moved away from Ubuntu to what it relies on, namely Debian, and for modelling (e.g. Blender) or gaming (Steam, 2D, 3D, VR) it’s been great.

Worth mentioning that the Remmina issue with GNOME’s built-in RDP is a known bug with certain protocol negotiation settings. Try these in Remmina:

1. Connection → Security → set to “RDP” (not “Negotiate”)
2. Under Advanced, disable “Network Level Authentication”

If that doesn’t work, xfreerdp from the command line is more reliable:

xfreerdp /v:your-server-ip /u:username /dynamic-resolution

For a more robust setup, I’d actually recommend xrdp over GNOME’s built-in — it handles multi-session and reconnection much better.
