I am exploring going to linux on some desktops. We currently have a terminal server and I publish a few apps through it.

Does anyone know of a good rdp client that will allow me to use termservs published apps in a way end users can understand? I don't want remote desktops, just published apps.

Thanks
 
There's Remmina, which is more featured than Microsoft's own RDP utility.

However I have to say I've got very little experience with remote apps.

Doing a bit of research, I don't think Remmina supports remote app, however WinConn appears to do so.

See here:

WinConn RemoteApp manager

Remmina will do published apps. The problem is that it logs into the server separately for each app causing issues and i have not figured a way around that.

i ran across winconn as well but it seems to be abandoned and the ppa is dead.

I appreciate you looking.
 
FreeRDP (usually xfreerdp or the like in package managers) is a CLI utility that could be used with .desktop entries to make easy Application launching shortcuts. However, handling of the username/pwrd could get weird, and it'll likely have the same issue you indicated about Remmina about making multiple server logins.

Code: 
xfreerdp /u:user /d:domain /p:password /app:"||calc" /v:server
