The big thing I hate about regular Microsoft RDP is you aren't getting to use your remote GPU through it.
It's not optimised for games, though. Something like Parsec would be much better for interactive stuff like that, or maybe something like Moonlight for Nvidia cards if you're looking to go without closed source software.
With modern hardware with RustDesk you are getting HEVC or even AV1 hardware encoded high framerate stream of your desktop.
I have never seen this kind of performance through MS RDP personally.
As for performance, I've been playing full-screen games over it. Latency sucked when I was literally on the opposite side of the earth but if the bandwidth was there it worked fine.
From work to home RDP is typically indistinguishable from being local for me.

My use case is more like replacing a KVM switch, but in addition to being performant and free (I no longer need RealVNC), it lets you run your own relay if you want and also supports virtual monitors - meaning that my laptop can have its screen and 3 virtual monitors, so that I can fill up all 4 of my desktop PC monitors when I want to remote into the laptop!
Um yes you are? I use AutoCAD and other software using GPU all the time over rdp
