Feature Support for Linux Clients

Certain guest operating systems and remote desktop features require specific Horizon Agent versions. Use this information when planning which features to make available to your end users.

Note: The vendor and model of each thin-client device, and the configuration that an enterprise chooses to use, determine the features that are available for the device. For information about the vendors and models for thin-client devices, see the Omnissa Compatibility Guides at https://techzone.omnissa.com/euc-technology-partner-hub#compatibility-guides.
