RDP Clients for Debian: An incomplete review
rdesktop lost its maintainer[1] 2 years ago, and it looks like it just recently started having activity[2] again.
I run xfreerdp nightly builds for everything, and I rarely have issues, might be worth looking into for your crashing issue.

How do I get an RDP server running on KDE Wayland?
Or maybe it could be done through xrdp somehow?

Ubuntu ---> Fedora. This time I really doing it.
Part of the reason that RDP isn't better is because it's not an open protocol, part of the reason is because the protocol was built to present a desktop environment that isn't remotely like xorg or Wayland. A lot of the reason is that the RDP project just doesn't get enough effort, because people have multiple ways of sharing desktops, and RDP is just one of them. If you would like to fix that, here's the (currently) 274 open bugs against the Linux attempt to implement RDP https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues

Check out xrdp. You can connect then via any rdp client.

Linux Terminalserver - Virtual Desktops - Nomachine alternatives
If you're willing to compile there are patches to xrdp to include some performance improvements that make a huge difference (more modern codecs). Tracking issue with instructions is here https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1422 it's quite long, so I'd start reading closer to the bottom. Performance has been really good in my testing.

Extremely high CPU running RDP to Ubuntu Studio 22.04 on Hyper-V VM 🚨💡

WSL is amazing 😃🤓
Indeed, this was... 2002? or so (xrdp)[http://www.xrdp.org/] was still not available.
- Can anyone tell me why does it show different versions?

RealVNC alternative? Need to GUI via VPN.
So... just use Remote Desktop. A popular open source version of RDP is XRDP, which is packaged and available for installation on most popular distributions. Just install it, let it start up the xrdp service, and then connect to it just like it was a Windows server. That's it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rdesktop and xrdp you can also consider the following projects:
