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.
You can make KDE Plasma look like a dead ringer for Windows. This might make user acceptance easier.
I’d look at KasmWeb for VDI. You can make instances ephemeral or keep them persistent, and you can also hook actual desktops via the VDI as RDP sessions. I have also set up a docker instance of a Windows session via Dockur and exposed it via Kasm
I’m not sure if you can disable desktop customization in plasma
I just wouldn’t enable persistence on the Kasm session.
I’ve never used Kasm personally. It sounds like a decent piece of software.
Why do you recommend KDE? Wouldn’t Xfce4 or Cinnamon be simpler and lighter weight?
