#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?
If you run X11, obviously X11 forwarding via SSH. It’s basically built in thin client. There’s also Xpra

Nope.

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.
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.
Remmina is kind of the best right now I’d say. Thinclient isn’t actually a thing much anymore outside of super locked down environments because of network state issues.
it’s a pretty big thing with wfh
Huh?
Our work from home setup is VPN and remote into the workstation at our desk in the office.
Regardless of how thick my client actually is, it’s a thin client for working from home.
Actually I currently use Remmina. It’s a cool application. And the best RDP client around.
Then I’d say install Tailscale on both machines, set your network ACLs, and you’re all good to go. Super simple.
