This is understandably a concern for customers who have invested in Thin Clients for work-from-home use cases, in particular for customers who depend on VoIP technologies such as call centres.įor clarity, when referring to audio over UDP, I am referring to audio optimization within the ICA channels via HDX Multimedia. In particular, audio over UDP is available for CWA for Linux clients directly connecting to a Citrix VDA, however, this does not extend to CWA for Linux through a Citrix Gateway (via Citrix Gateway service or customer-managed Citrix Gateway).

Although fantastic options, at the time of this article’s creation, there is a notable disparity in the voice and video capabilities of CWA for Windows and CWA for Linux. This created chaos amongst IT management and security teams in many organizations, and growing pains for both users and management alike.ĭuring this period, numerous organizations had to spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on remote work strategy expansion and in order to optimize costs, the often lower-priced Linux-based Thin Clients were selected over their Windows brethren. For this reason, it is critical when evaluating Thin Clients and endpoints in general, that customers and consulting partners review the Citrix Workspace App Feature Matrix which is a living document and is regularly updated as features are introduced into the various client platform releases.Īlthough many organizations prior to the 2020\2021 global pandemic had work from home strategies in place for years, many were forced to abruptly adopt remote work expanded beyond the norm, or for business units that had little to no remote work strategies prior. What this means for administrators and organizations, is some features that exist in Windows may take a while to show up in lower priority client platforms.
The following diagram from our recent HDX Multimedia webinar with Citrix Product Management illustrates this flow. With that said, Citrix’s engineering teams for CWA innovate features first on Windows, followed in second priority by Linux and Mac, and finally the mobile variants.

Many of these vendors derive their Citrix Workspace app (CWA) for Linux software right from Citrix, while others (of note Dell Wyse up until ThinOS 9 I believe, after which they made the switch) would construct their own CWA for Linux variant, often lagging behind feature sets of the current Linux client available. Offerings from HPE, IGEL, Dell Wyse, NComputing dominate this category in addition to a number of smaller Thin Client players who have adopted Linux as the underpinning OS.
It is particularly popular due to the proliferation of “Zero OS” or “Thin OS” Thin Clients which are predominantly Linux-based. Citrix Workspace app (formerly Citrix Receiver, Online Plugin, ICA Client, etc.) for Linux is a popular client for accessing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenApp and XenDesktop).
