FreeRDP 3.0 stable was released today as this open-source implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for allowing nice remote access support.

FreeRDP 3.0 brings relative mouse movement support that is important for gaming via RDP, server-side MS-RDPEL channel support, clipboard improvements, fixed FFmpeg/AAC encoding, improved RPC gateway support, Opus audio support for GNOME Remote Desktop, server-side handling of the mouse cursor channel, AAD/AVX authentication, WebSocket Transport support, SmartCard authentication for TLS and NLA, full OpenSSL 3.x support, and numerous other features and fixes.

In the past two weeks since the prior release candidate, support has been added for AF_VSOCK, improvements to the new relative mouse input support, E2K CPU support in WinPR, Android mouse hover support, and other fixes and minor enhancements.

So this is an open-source server implementation of Windows RDP which I could install in Windows home builds and access it through RDP access client elsewhere?

I checked through their site and repo, binaries are built here. https://ci.freerdp.com/job/freerdp-nightly-windows/1439/arch=win64,label=vs2017/

But i'm not sure where to start. which one should I download?
