I'm excited to share what I've been working on the last several weeks. Recently I posted over on my Github a new project I'm working called Horizon Linux VM. It's a pre-packaged Ubuntu OVA that automates most of the customization and configuration needed for a Linux Desktop Template to be used in a VMware Horizon 7 environment. The project is now an official VMware Fling.
Check out the Ubuntu OVA for Horizon on VMware Flings
In short, it's an OVA built from Ubuntu's mini.iso (to keep footprint down) that has the below key features (full changelog available on Github)
