Don't try to set up citrix on linux mint 22.1
I have spent all of Good Friday and most of Easter Saturday recovering from the disasterous step I took, trying to get citrix to work on my recently installed linux mint 22.1. My advice for those on that distro is "don't go there!". Citrix depends on an ancient Gtk library but the debian install file does not contain it. At version 22.1 it is no longer supported. The citrix version I downloaded was dated March 2025. So it is quite annoying that citrix have still not dealt with this issue. There is a web of dependencies that took ages to chase down, only for me to end up in a right old tangle where eventually I was forced to reinstall linux mint. I even tried a project I found on github where someone tried to solve the problem via a flatpak but that didn't work out either. Citrix need to get their act together. Luckily, I have an old laptop with an older version of linux mint which is just about serviceable, even though it creaks and groans a bit. It does run citrix ok so I will have to stick with that.
