Use Citrix Provisioning™ to create Linux VMs

Last published : Oct 15, 2026
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 16.04
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • RHEL 8.4
  • RHEL 8.3
  • RHEL 7.9
  • SUSE 12.5
Important:
  • We recommend that you use the current release installation package, available in the Citrix Provisioning executable, Citrix_Provisioning_2109.iso. Use the package based on your Linux distribution. Citrix Provisioning Server 2109 or later is required to use Linux streaming agent 2109 and later.
  • When you use 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.
For more information, see Streaming Linux target devices in the Citrix Provisioning documentation.
