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.
Honestly, Linux very much not as polished as Windows when it comes to a multiuser terminal server.
With that being said you need to look at xrdp and X. Make sure you lock down security and configure your desktop.
Honestly I would not use something with a preinstalled desktop. Start with a base image and then install the basic desktop and apps you need. You can always use custom configs to make the desktop look like whatever you want.
I’m all for Linux but terminal services is not a common use case.
