"Thin clients are the kind of hardware that should be a home labber’s open secret, but somehow still feels like insider baseball. They are cheap, quiet, and usually built to last years in the office without developing a personality disorder. That durability makes them perfect for Linux, because Linux loves boring hardware that just keeps showing up to work. The problem is that most people take a thin client home and immediately treat it like a small desktop, not what it actually is.
Used correctly, a thin client becomes a dependable “front door” to your real compute, whether that’s a server in a closet, a mini PC on a shelf, or a VM farm you keep promising to document someday."
"Thin clients earn their keep when you stop judging them like desktops and start using them like purpose-built Linux endpoints. They are not as exciting as a new SBC or a shiny mini PC, and that is part of their appeal. Set the role, keep the OS lean, and make remote access the first-class citizen it was always meant to be."
