		##RDP

		The common way touseremotedesktopswithCoder is through VNC.
		The common way toconnect to a Windows workspace is using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to remotely control a computer over a network connection. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) forremoteaccess, enabling users to interactwiththe remote system as if they were sitting in front of it.

This reads as patronizing to me. Remote desktopimplies a GUI, and given that we don't provide instructions on how to enable RDP in the workspace, I think we should assume the reader has some idea what RDPis.

I suggest adding a screenshot or GIF here of what it looks like from the desktop client. Would significantly improve the visual identity of the first part of the page and show what the Desktop UX looks like.
