wondering if its possible to run ubuntu 24.04 as a thin client for remote connections to windows pcs? and how id go about setting up?
ill want it so when the ubuntu machine is powered on, it auto logs in to “user” in kiosk mode which displays a html page hosted on one of my webservers for the user to enter their windows credentials with no ability to do anything else.
i think ill then want the users credentials from the html page to launch the rdp client & connect to the windows pc.
preferably using thincast as i know this works with two monitors, unless there are better alternatives?
Hi and welcome to the Forums!
The answer would be “yes, it is possible” 
As a rough guide, you would want to configure the machine to start a graphical interface with a custom session, and then have that session launch a specific application, rather than the graphical login shell.
In terms of application, you could make this Chromium and do your thin client work via a JS based thin client app, however you then have the problem of how to lock down the browser.
You might find it easier to launch a specific “local” RDP or Linux thin client application which may be easier to lock down.
I think it’s slightly different under the new Wayland interface, but I’ve done something fairly similar historically using X11/xinit. The “best” thin client software for Linux 've come across over the years is “NoMachine”, which I think also runs on Windows and Mac and has been around a long time. If memory serves it goes back 15+ years for me …
