Citrix Receiver Linux [patched] -

Introduction: The Thin Client Staple For over two decades, Citrix has been a dominant force in desktop virtualization and application delivery. Its client software—originally called Citrix ICA Client , then Citrix Receiver , and now Citrix Workspace app —is the endpoint gateway to virtual apps and desktops hosted on Citrix Hypervisor, VMware, Azure Virtual Desktop, or physical servers.

Today, the name lives on in countless internal documentation, scripts, and admin habits. However, the future is —a modern, secure, and actively maintained client.
