I have asked them. It's an entirely windows centric business. The ticket is "low priority". WFH has been shifting slowly from a right to a luxury.

I guess I need to do what I can at my end by selecting the most suitable distro / DE.

Yes but our remote access is locked inside Citrix workspace. No control to do anything but use the RDP inside that.

I love when the coles gates don't open for me and then I ram them aggressively with the trolley while staring directly at their security guard on the other side. The first time I did it I was surprised that they simply rotate open easily. I guess not only fire safety but they can't legally detain anyone either.

We used to have a different method where by we connected to the company VPN from our home PC, then used a remote connection via that. It worked so well, no lag, full clipboard and drives support. This apparently meant our home PC was a security risk on the company network.

New IT banned that method and switched to Citrix workspace with RDP locked down inside that. Apparently it is much more secure. It is a bug ridden laggy piece of shit to use though and that is on windows. Linux version is no different in terms of lagging.

My company uses RDP locked down inside Citrix workspace.

You have to use the RDP in the workspace. Not roll your own remote connection. There are no other apps inside our workspace.

Not sure how to explain it better than that.

Most of the stuff I've read points to Citrix workspace being equally old and outdated thus being better on x11 than Wayland.

Yeah that's not the same thing that my work uses.

I don't get a choice of remina.

Sounding good. This was with a RDP session to a remote Windows PC?

 

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've had a number of women tell me they like it and request it. Still a hard no from me. Also had a couple try to squeeze my throat and it is not something I allow.

Have lived through the cycle of baggy pants, skinny pants, and now back to baggy pants.

(I'm sure someone older will be along that has gone through more cycles than that)

Would prefer increased taxes on hoarded wealth assets than people who earn a "high" income. The asset hoarding class typically have near zero taxable income.

 

Privacy advocates warn of a surveillance overreach.

 

TLDR: Howard, the source of most problems we face since his reign of destruction.

 

Since the last update I've noticed that gesture back stops working after a bit. Closing voyager and opening it again makes it work.

Also something slightly odd is happening with scaling where the app seems to take up less screen real estate randomly.

Can't make this shit up, reality is beyond satire at this point.

This is the same media talking head who argued against Labor's fibre to the premises national broadband network. Who then brown noses NBN execs to get his own house upgraded to Fibre as a higher priority than anyone else.

Copper for thee, fibre for me.

What the hell happened to the federal ICAC anyway. Still waiting for all the politicians who spent billions buying back Telstra's rotten copper to go to jail.
