To connect to my virtual machine I use xfreerdp. Unfortunately, I feel too poor performance. For example, the machine has Windows 10, so when minimizing windows, you can see one frame of animation. I also wanted to watch something, eg. YouTube, but the problem is the same, even greater (animation frames do not allow for comfortable watching). Is it possible to somehow improve the performance of the connection? (I use Ubuntu, but I know that by using Remote Desktop Connection for Windows, the connection is better)

My current configuration:

xfreerdp /u:xxxx /p:xxxx /bpp:8 /cert-ignore /v:xxx /gdi:hw +clipboard +fonts +async-input +async-update /f -offscreen-cache -glyph-cache

Although this isn't a solution to the root cause of the issue (the poor performance) it might help a little in dealing with it: you might want to go to System → Advanced system settings → Performance frame, Settings button, then select "Adjust for best performance". This should stop Windows from trying to animate when you minimize a window, for example.

How to get good video performance for remote access to virtualized computer? suggests some methods for accelerating video such as YouTube. Some of these may not be relevant for Linux hosts, but https://superuser.com/a/261961/277264 may be relevant to you.
