The link from `lassoan` above describes the issue: Windows RDP client does not support newer OpenGL versions, and so Slicer crashes – unfortunately without a useful error message yet. The suggestion is to try VNC or NoMachine. I can confirm NoMachine works with recent Slicer builds from a Mac client to a Linux host. I haven’t tried it with a Windows client, but it should probably work fine.
