+# Linux support
+
+You can use the Linux SDK for Windows Virtual Desktop to build a standalone Windows Virtual Desktop client. You can also use it to enable Windows Virtual Desktop support on your client application. This quick guide will explain what the Linux SDK is and how to start using it.
+
+## What is the Linux SDK?
+
+You can use the SDK APIs to retrieve resource feeds, connect to desktop or remote application sessions, and use many of the redirections that our first-party clients support.
+
+### Supported Linux distributions
+
+The SDK is compatible with most operating systems based on Ubuntu 18.04 or later. If you have a different Linux distribution, we can work with you to figure out how to best support your needs.
+
+### Feature support
+
+The SDK supports multiple connections to desktop and remote application sessions. The following redirections are supported:
+
+| Redirection       | Supported |
+| :---------------- | :-------: |
+| Keyboard          | ✔  |
+| Mouse             | ✔  |
+| Audio in          | ✔  |
+| Audio out         | ✔  |
+| Clipboard (text)  | ✔  |
+| Clipboard (image) | ✔  |
+| Clipboard (file)  | ✔  |
+| Smartcard         | ✔  |
+| Drive/folder      | ✔  |
+
+The SDK also supports multiple monitor display configurations, as long as the monitors you select for your session are contiguous.
+
+We'll update this document as we add support for new features and redirections. If you want to suggest new features and other improvements, visit our [UserVoice page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2116523).
+
+## Get started with the Linux SDK
+
+Before you can develop a Linux client for Windows Virtual Desktop, you need to do the following things:
+
+1. Build and deploy a Windows Virtual Desktop environment for testing or production use.
+2. Test the available first-party clients to familiarize yourself with the Windows Virtual Desktop user experience.
+
+## Next steps
+
+You can request access to the Linux SDK on our [Tech Community forum](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2116541).
