I got some Wyse 3040s and I’d like to configure one or 2 to run as thin clients for Proxmox. I may eventually do an LTSP server, but for now I’d like Nomachine and Spice support.

I found Winterminal, but I’m not sure if it supports nomachine(?)

A lot of the distros I am finding for this sort of purpose seem a bit out of date.How does Thinstation fair these days? Seems like a lot of configuration is needed…

I’d use Fedora or silverblue perhaps for this, but it doesn’t appear to support the arm chip?

    We have a bunch of these at the hackerspace. They run vanilla debian and connect to a terminal server using xdmcp. Works like a charm.

    Why not just use ThinOS? IIRC it supports the NX protocol that NoMachine uses. If not, then you have Wyse’s respin of Ubuntu called ThinLinux, which you should be able to install.

    You can download the OS image and flash utility from Dell’s website.

      I don’t see any packages for NX protocol, I am testing this right now and not having much luck
