The announcement of [Raspberry Pi 5](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-5-available-now/) has sparked interest in its new capabilities and potential applications.

Many of you have shared interesting use cases of Raspberry Pi as a client in Linux terminal server environments with ThinLinc. See this case: [My personal ThinLinc use case and some performance comparison](https://community.thinlinc.com/t/my-personal-thinlinc-use-case-and-some-performance-comparison/173)

I’m keen to hear about your experiences with Raspberry Pi, especially with the latest Raspberry Pi 5 and ThinLinc integration.

Please share your use cases and experiences, whether with the Raspberry Pi 5 or earlier models, particularly in connection with ThinLinc.

Hey,

I just had a go with a Pi5 and RaspberryOS, and no issues to report at all!

I just downloaded the .deb ARM package of [https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/download/](https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/download/) and installed it normally with `$ sudo dpkg -i ./thinlinc-client_4.16.0-3389_armhf.deb`

Unrelated, but I experienced severe mouse lag (locally) on the Pi5. This was mitigated by adding  
` usbhid.mousepoll=0` to the end of `/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt` and rebooting the Pi5.

Other than that, 👍  
/Martin

Thanks @martin for sharing your experience with the Raspberry Pi5. 😀

It is great to hear that it works as a ThinLinc client using the ARM package.

The invitation to the community remain:
