Defender Linux Workstation Support

Does anyone happen to know when Defender for Endpoint will be officially supported on Linux workstation distributions?

We have a lot of RHEL 8 and 9 workstations (not just servers), but the Microsoft documentation indicates only Linux for server distros are supported.

    Did you get anywhere with this? I have the very same question but anything googled seems to point back to the 'Endpoint' server stuff, not workstations.

      Unfortunately, never got an answer. ☹️ We opened a case with Microsoft about it and didn't get anywhere with that either.
