Virtual Appliance

Citrix
The manufacturer has published a list of known issues for version 1903 of the Citrix Receiver; it's available on the Citrix website.
FreeRDP
FreeRDP is under continuous development. The developers track all known issues in the GitHub Issue Tracker.
When using Terminal Server ≤ 2008R2, use rdesktop instead of FreeRDP.
rdesktop
Use rdesktop for connections that don't require TLS; refer to arch-linux-bug.
Display Settings
Like all modern Linux systems, it uses KMS (Kernel Mode Setting). As a result, display names may change after the update. Therefore, adjust the setting in the "Display" device settings. Alternatively, under "Use specific graphics driver" in the hardware settings, select "Use Xorg-Intel driver" instead of KMS.
Glamor Acceleration with AMD Graphics (radeon)
Starting with version 2018.1, Glamor Acceleration is always enabled by default for AMD graphics cards. If the system lacks graphical interface support, set the additional kernel parameter `glamor=false` in the hardware type or directly on the thin client.
See:https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/
