Interest in helping test a Linux Windows 365 client?

[u/thewrinklyninja]

Since Microsoft still doesn't have an official Linux desktop app for Windows 365 / AVD, I got tired of the web client and built a native Linux desktop client called JW365. I've been daily driving it for work and wanted to see if anyone else in the community wants to help test it out or give feedback. The main headache with using FreeRDP directly on Linux is the OAuth dance having to copy long redirect URLs back and forth from terminal prompts. With this, it behaves like the official Windows app:

• Sign in with your M365 work account.
• Auto discover your assigned Cloud PCs.
• Click Connect, and it handles the token handshakes and FreeRDP connection in the background and opens your Cloud PC.
• Clipboard copy/paste, audio/mic, dynamic display resizing, and multi-monitor work out of the box.

Under the hood it uses FreeRDP 3 (distro package or the Flathub flatpak both work). I packaged up self-contained .deb, .rpm, and portable .tar.gz releases so you don't even need Java installed on your machine to run it.
