Feature Support for Linux Desktops
Some Linux guest operating systems are supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later or
Horizon Agent 7.0 or later. For a list of supported Linux operating systems and information about
supported features, see the Setting Up Horizon 6 for Linux Desktops or Setting Up Horizon 7 for Linux
Desktops document.
Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Desktop
You can quickly navigate to a remote desktop application or file from a Unity Touch sidebar. From this
sidebar, you can open files and applications, switch between running applications, and minimize,
maximize, restore, or close windows and applications in a remote desktop.
The Unity Touch feature is available only if a Horizon administrator has enabled it. If users have a floating
desktop, users’ favorite applications and files can be saved only if Windows roaming user profiles are
configured for the remote desktop. A Horizon administrator can also create a default Favorite
Applications list that end users see the first time the sidebar appears. For more information, see
"Configuring Unity Touch" in the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
If the Unity Touch feature is enabled, the sidebar appears on the left side of the window when you first
access a remote desktop.
