Ubuntu as session host
Hi all, I understand there is no native solution for running an ubuntu vm as a session host. I didn't find any image in the marketplace for this. I found this https://github.com/microsoft/LinuxBrok...

Microsoft does not currently offer native support for Ubuntu or other Linux distributions as session hosts within Azure Virtual Desktop. Official Microsoft documentation specifies that Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts are based on Windows, and Linux-based session hosting is not natively supported. The GitHub project LinuxBrokerForAVDAccess represents a community-driven initiative and should be regarded as experimental, as it is not part of the officially supported Microsoft product portfolio.
