Previously via Citrix LVDA and now via Omnissa Horizon. Running Ubuntu works pretty good. If I had the choice I would pick Citrix over Omnissa.
I suggest configuring your master image with at least Ansible but preferably using something like Packer for provisioning of your master image as well.
Mainly two purposes. The main purpose is to provide a Linux environment for remote work used by our R&D organisation. More or less a jump station to their Linux workstations on-prem. The secondary purpose is to provide a standardized environment for our ASIC department with focus on security. These are not used for remote work. Linux environments all the way through.
We just did it the other way around, Omnissa to Citrix. Also Ubuntu 24.04. Works perfect in my opinion (we also have a batch non domain joined using Freeipa, these are a bit more finnicky). Machines are provisioned using Terraform then joined to the Delivery group using Ansible.
Researchers in healthcare, around 100, specifically using python, visual code etc. It's honestly mostly because we already had Citrix up and running, so no new pipeline for physical machines. The users mostly just jump to new hosts using SSH from there anyways. Also some usage from university's etc.
