Thin Client Support, Windows Virtual Desktop
- You can download the Windows Desktop client for any W10 IoT Enterprise device (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/connect-windows-7-and-10)
- For Linux, you can use the IGEL client (some docs here https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/linux-overview)
- The HTML5 client can also run on most browsers on Linux devices
We are working with a number of other Linux thin client partners to enable them to build their own WVD clients. Today, IGEL is the only partner with a client in production. If there are other Linux thin client you and your customers need support for, please keep posting in this thread. It always helps us to have more info to share with partners re demand.
What's the verdict on this? I just launched my first WVD pool. works like a champ. I need to know about thin/zero client connectivity. Is there any progress with this?
New Thin client ? which one ? Wyse 5470 ?? did someone tried this ?
Rasp Pi4 and google chrome for web access?
Hi CTSLU sorry for the late reply, stumbled across this now.
IGEL supports virtually any x86-64Bit CPU. You need 2GB RAM and recommended 4GB storage. You will probably be able to repurpose your DELL/WYSE 5470's with IGEL OS and get access to the native IGEL WVD client.
chekc out my blog https://virtualbrat.com for news on IGEL WVD implementation, and other useful articles of the world of IGEL, check out https://igelcommunity.com for quickstart guides on how to get going with IGEL and www.igel.com for more info. Hope this helps and reach out if you need any assistance.
Best
