Due to hardware reqs we’re tossing the idea at work to replace the Microsoft termserv with Linux. Due to the userbase being all windows fans we’d need a full on GUI and i’ve been prodded towards Mint. Good idea or bad?
I’ve happily set up a remote kunbuntu for my workspace previously, but accomodating multiple complete linux neophytes is giving me a bit of pause.
xRDP is no issue, I’ve set that up before and already have it running on a mockup mint MATE I’ve spun up. They’re gonna need more than just browsing, so looking for a full (locked down) desktop environment per user.
X11 Fordwarding isn’t xRDP though. You don’t need a full blown graphical session to run.

I wouldn’t install Mint for production either, I’d use something like Debian stable or Fedora.
ah, so it’s like xenapp?
I’m not super familiar with Citrix, but yeah kinda.
Seems like maybe a good use for Kasm Workspaces. Use persistence in each session to save settings, files etc…
