Raspberry Pi as x2go “thin” client

I worked at a place that swapped out our HP pa-risc workstations for sun ray thin client machines. I actually didn’t mind as the network was pretty fast.

The raspberry pi is a competent little computer and probably way more capable than those “sun” ray thin clients

I use x2go all the time, I have one single big workstation, and the laptops and the "thin" machine in my lab are tethered to it all the time, even when outside, via wireguard.

I'm not surprised a raspi can do that, as I've used an antique thinkpad x201 for doing it for many many years now!

Would this also work with remote Windows RDP sessions?

No, but there are Linux RDP clients (such as Remmina) you can use which I would imagine would also work well from a Pi.

No but I think installing something like https://guacamole.apache.org/ could work well.
