    • You can download the Windows Desktop client for any W10 IoT Enterprise device (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/connect-windows-7-and-10
    • For Linux, you can use the IGEL client (some docs here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/linux-overview)
    • The HTML5 client can also run on most browsers on Linux devices

    We are working with a number of other Linux thin client partners to enable them to build their own WVD clients. Today, IGEL is the only partner with a client in production. If there are other Linux thin client you and your customers need support for, please keep posting in this thread. It always helps us to have more info to share with partners re demand.

We have a customer asking similar questions.  I cant find anything definitive on this topic aside from a list of Microsoft Virtual Desktop Integration Partners.  This list is not exclusive to Thin Client vendors and for those that are listed, their respective sites dont seem to have helpful information

Is there any information on this topic that can be shared in hopes of shedding light on this?  Even if its simply on the roadmap for Vendor-A or any vendor for that matter?
