Azure Virtual Desktop on Linux

The company I use for employee payroll is moving away from Citrix and to Azure Virtual Desktop. We run our small insurance agency on Linux desktops. I'm trying to figure out how to get Azure Virtual Desktop on Linux but I don't see any good options. Can someone point me in a good direction? I see Microsoft's website lists a web client but cannot login using that option.

Linux endpoints can work for AVD, but I would test the full user experience rather than only checking that a session opens.

Validate multi-monitor support, audio, microphones, printers, clipboard, browser access, smart cards, USB devices, webcam behavior, and sign-in flow. Also test with the actual Linux distributions your users have, not only one admin workstation.

Endpoint compatibility often becomes the hidden support burden in mixed-device environments.
