Looking for advice on which distro to try out for what I suspect is not a common use case.

I want to use my personal laptop to connect to my work PC running windows 11. My laptop is a HP probook 440 G8. 11th gen intel with onboard graphics. Plugged in to a couple of 2560x1440 screens via a dock. The company I work for uses Citrix workspace and RDP for this purpose.

So far I have had a go with Mint 22.3 / Cinnamon and had a lot of trouble with Multi monitors. Best I can do is run the remote session windowed and have it dragged over two screens. This is not adequate by any means. Even getting the connection bar to appear in cinnamon is a nightmare of hitting atl and F10 and hoping it happens.

I’ve also added KDE plasma to my mint install. So far it is more reliable at getting RDP window to restore so I can drag it over 2 screens, however still no luck with full screen across all screens.

Does anyone else use citrix workspace from linux over multiple screens in full screen mode successfully?

    yeah, i missunderstood your needs.

    citrix works just fine. used it on different distros in the last 2 years. the only issues i had where multiple desktop with different resolutions with gnome. the upper side of the monitors had to align in order to render the citrix desktop correctly. no idea if thats still an issue and if it happens only with gnome.
