I have asked them. It’s an entirely windows centric business. The ticket is “low priority”. WFH has been shifting slowly from a right to a luxury.
I guess I need to do what I can at my end by selecting the most suitable distro / DE.

Yes but our remote access is locked inside Citrix workspace. No control to do anything but use the RDP inside that.


We used to have a different method where by we connected to the company VPN from our home PC, then used a remote connection via that. It worked so well, no lag, full clipboard and drives support. This apparently meant our home PC was a security risk on the company network.
New IT banned that method and switched to Citrix workspace with RDP locked down inside that. Apparently it is much more secure. It is a bug ridden laggy piece of shit to use though and that is on windows. Linux version is no different in terms of lagging.


My company uses RDP locked down inside Citrix workspace.
You have to use the RDP in the workspace. Not roll your own remote connection. There are no other apps inside our workspace.
Not sure how to explain it better than that.


Most of the stuff I’ve read points to Citrix workspace being equally old and outdated thus being better on x11 than Wayland.


Yeah that’s not the same thing that my work uses.


I don’t get a choice of remina.


Sounding good. This was with a RDP session to a remote Windows PC?


I’ll be very surprised if our govt does anything positive when it comes to digital rights. The current shower of arseholes in government supported the previous even bigger shower of arseholes to pass diabolical legislation like data retention and assistance and access bills.
I have one of those keyboards too. The track pad on it is way better than others I have tried.
For controlling kodi though I mostly use Kore from a phone.
I just swapped from Mint to Kubuntu running Wayland by default.
KDE does make dragging the RDP window over two screens a lot easier given the full screen, maximise, move and resize menu options are always there working.
But proper full screen over two screens still locks the RDP session to one screen only.
I certainly like KDE more than cinnamon.
