VMware Horizon Agent for Linux is a software component that enables Linux machines to be used as

remote desktops or published applications in a Horizon environment. Horizon Agent for Linux

supports several features that enhance the user experience and manageability of Linux desktops and

applications, such as USB redirection, display protocol PCoIP, multiple-session mode, single sign-on,

smart card authentication, and 3D graphics34. However, Horizon Agent for Linux does not support

location based printing or session collaboration features that are available for Windows

machines5. Also, Horizon Agent for Linux does not require installation registration as it automatically

registers with the Connection Server when the viewagent service is started6. Reference := 3: VMware
