A free thin client OS designed by a professional sysadmin to be very easy to setup, and so easy to use that your users can use it without instructions. You can have the thin client up and running within minutes and mass deploy it your way.

Features

  • Simple UI, your users only see a login screen and a shutdown button just like you'd want!
  • Admin options are present but hidden behind secret passwords.
  • Users can use the "ping" password to ping the remote server including a full trace route. You don't have to guess where the connection goes wrong just let them send you a picture.
  • Error messages that make sense and include your own helpdesk info, your users know exactly who to contact and what to say (Written by an experienced sysadmin who also does first line support).
  • Disk image that is not machine bound, you can capture it any time and redeploy your config on other machines. Hostnames change automatically based on the wired adapters mac address.
  • Optimized RDP defaults, rdp will just work out of the box with optimal quality. If you need to customize this further the option is available.
  • Based on the excellent xfreerdp project like most Linux based thinclients
  • Xanmod 6.12 Kernel for wide device compatibility
  • Docker as the build system making it easy to build your own custom image.
  • auto-maintenance command for system updates (Own risk especially on auto update mode, if a bad update releases and you enabled automatic updates you have to manually roll back your machines).
  • Citrix mode that boots into Citrix Receiver (1.11 only)
