Horizon administrators create virtual machines with a guest operating system and install agent software in the guest operating system. End users can log in to these virtual machines from a client device.

For a list of the supported Windows guest operating systems, see "Supported Operating Systems for Horizon Agent" in the document Horizon Installation and Upgrade.

Some Linux guest operating systems are also supported. For information about system requirements, configuring Linux virtual machines, and a list of supported features, see the Linux Desktops and Applications in Horizon document.
