Linux Desktop Support for Remote Desktop Client
The idea is to support Linux desktops like Ubuntu and Fedora. Currently, only the web client is available for Linux, but many features are not available.

Really need a native linux client to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop. "Windows App" for linux. Connecting through a web browser is a terrible experience - the low refresh rate is like watching a slide show. In fact, running android in a container on top of linux and using the android "Windows App" is far more performant than just connecting through a web browser. (Allthough that is not a great solution). If you've already got an Android app (which works amazing on my phone), a Mac app, and even an app for VR, then surely it's not a stretch to release a linux app.
I was previously using a virtual machine via Citrix - which does have a linux app - and it worked great. Unfortunately work has moved over to connecting via the Windows App now.
