Connecting to Ubuntu 22.04 with Remote Desktop

I simply installed:

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop-minimal -y
sudo apt install xrdp -y
systemctl status xrdp

and was able to connect with Remote Desktop from Windows as root user:

but it worked terribly slow.

And I was unable to login with a regular user:

LXQT worked a bit better:

sudo apt install lxqt -y
sudo apt install xrdp -y
systemctl status xrdp

Resized my VPS to 8GB RAM:

And it still worked slow:

df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           795M  1.2M  794M   1% /run
/dev/sda         24G  6.8G   17G  29% /
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs           795M   52K  795M   1% /run/user/1000
tmpfs           795M   52K  795M   1% /run/user/0

But VNC server worked fast enough:

vncserver -geometry 1920x1200
vncserver -geometry 1400x850
