From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which server are you using on linux? How did you configure autostart?
I use the one built into Gnome but I have run into even more issues trying to install and use other ones.
that one does support autostart?
~yes~ But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn't need a remote session.
You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn't unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user's RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.
