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.

Linux distro for remote access via Citrix and RDP? (aussie.zone)

Looking for advice on which distro to try out for what I suspect is not a common use case.

I want to use my personal laptop to connect to my work PC running windows 11. My laptop is a HP probook 440 G8. 11th gen intel with onboard graphics. Plugged in to a couple of 2560x1440 screens via a dock. The company I work for uses Citrix workspace and RDP for this purpose.

So far I have had a go with Mint 22.3 / Cinnamon and had a lot of trouble with Multi monitors. Best I can do is run the remote session windowed and have it dragged over two screens. This is not adequate by any means. Even getting the connection bar to appear in cinnamon is a nightmare of hitting atl and F10 and hoping it happens.

I've also added KDE plasma to my mint install. So far it is more reliable at getting RDP window to restore so I can drag it over 2 screens, however still no luck with full screen across all screens.

Does anyone else use citrix workspace from linux over multiple screens in full screen mode successfully?

I used citrix workspace on endeavour OS (KDE), multi monitors (full screen across multiple monitors or one screen only), without problems.

*on Wayland I assume

Linux Mint is old and outdated, installing KDE likely defaults to the X11 session (because Kubuntu still defaulted to that for a looong time. Now they have 6.6 lts which might actually be really good)

Most of the stuff I've read points to Citrix workspace being equally old and outdated thus being better on x11 than Wayland.

Yeah might well be. Clients are mostly way better off than servers, but multi monitor is fundamentally different between X11 and Wayland

Basically X11 doesnt even know multiple monitors, which is why mixed FPS, scaling, colorspaces etc are not possible. It is basically just one larger display with a weird shape.
