You can create domain-joined VDAs using Citrix Provisioning.

This article provides information about streaming Linux target devices. Using this feature, you can provision Linux virtual desktops directly in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops™ environment.

The following Linux distributions are supported:

Ubuntu 24.04/22.04
RHEL 9.6/9.4/8.10
Rocky Linux 9.6/9.4/8.10

Important:

Ensure to use Citrix Provisioning Server LTSR 2203 (BIOS + UEFI mode) and LTSR 2402 (BIOS mode) ONLY.

When using Citrix Provisioning to stream Linux target devices, create a separate boot partition on the single shared-disk image so that the provisioned devices can boot as expected.

Avoid formatting any partition with btrfs. GRUB2 has an intrinsic problem finding btrfs partitions. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.

For more information, see Streaming Linux target devices in the Citrix Provisioning documentation.
