#Linux community does someone know a tutorial for a kind of self made #ThinClient device?
I have an old notebook with Linux which does not anymore fit my power requirements, but I have a Linuc PC in my cellar which I use as working device over #RDP since a while and I love this way.
Is there a Remote-Desktop Linux Distribution (RDP, #VNC or #Moonlight) with the sole purpose to connect a VPN on startup and directly login to a Remote-Desktop and also redirect USB-Devices to remote?
I just installed DietPi on my new ThinClient. I use it on Raspberry Pi for years and I really like it. Is super lightweight and comes with lots of preconfigured software.
I set up an old thin client with Debian and lxqt to connect to a VM on Proxmox. Got the idea from an Apalrd’s Adventures video about VDI. It worked pretty well on a decent network, but it really suffered on high latency networks.
Am I only one who immediately loses respect for hashtag abusers?
Nope.
There’s a very low chance that the OP is posting to here via mastodon, using AP.

At the very least, it makes it quite hard to read the post.
Our client had thin clients that where managed via a controller over pxe. We replaced the hyperv with vm’s in the cloud and they didn’t want to buy new PCs. So we got them small SSDs instead and I set up a debian image with autologin and a script that asks for credentials to launch xfreerdp in fullscreen. It worked great (until they finally got new hardware).
I can give you some of the code next week if you want.
If you run X11, obviously X11 forwarding via SSH. It’s basically built in thin client. There’s also Xpra

Oh amazing! Thank you! I’ve been using waypipe recently, but I miss the remote buffering capabilities of Xpra!
