Hi guys! So, I’m rather happy that the github guide to build your own flatpak for the Citrix Workspace client allowed me to have a completely compact package that doesn’t require a crapton of external libraries having access to anywhere in your root system. I love that I no longer need a full VM to achieve this (as I didn’t want Citrix having access to my whole system, and I love how well the flatpak works). I’d like the same for Microsoft’s AVD remote desktop client (not to be confused with RDP/mstsc etc).

Any idea if this is possible?

PS: Just in case, this is the guide to build your own flatpak-ed Citrix ICA client: https://github.com/dcloud-ca/ca.dcloud.ICAClient

    You can use freerdp - so an existing flatpakket with xfreerdp/freerdp can be a great starting point

    Afaik there’s no ms provided azure virtual desktop client for Linux

      freerdp

      So…freerdp does NOT include a GUI…right? Just trying to figure it out. Thanks!

        No - it’s cli only. But I think there are 3rd party ones if shell is not your thing.

        But IMO you should start familiarising with shell if you plan on staying with Linux - there’s probably options/settings and commands that are not part of gui for many different parts of your system.

          I’m sure familiar with CLI, no worries. I just don’t think a full remote desktop tool which has hundreds of switches/options and needs to go through SSO custom addresses and 2-factor is at its best on CLI mode.
