For more information about supported Linux distributions, see System requirements.

OpenJDK dependency upgraded from version 11 to version 17

In this release, the OpenJDK dependency has been upgraded from version 11 to version 17. OpenJDK 17 is automatically installed as a dependency when you install the Linux VDA. For more information, see Install the Linux VDA manually.

Enhanced PostgreSQL version support

The Linux VDA now supports the use of a custom PostgreSQL version, regardless of the version provided by your Linux distribution. We recommend you use a PostgreSQL version that is at least as recent as the one provided by your Linux distribution. To effectively use a custom version of PostgreSQL, ensure that /etc/xdl/db.conf is configured appropriately for the new version. For more information, see the database specification instructions in the installation articles, for example, Step 7: Specify a database to use and Step 1g: Install and specify a database to use.

Rootless Xorg

The Linux VDA now supports running Xorg with non-root user privileges, also known as “rootless” Xorg. Rootless Xorg is a significant security improvement over running as root. For more information, see Rootless Xorg.

Service account “ctxsrvr” is moved to a new location

Starting with this release, the Citrix service account “ctxsrvr” is moved from /home/ctxsrvr to /var/lib/ctxsrvr.

Enhanced graphics performance

This release enhances graphics performance by upgrading JPEG Turbo to Version 3 (V3) on the Linux VDA.
