I’m a relatively new Linux user and I installed ThinLinc because the default RDP/VNC on Ubuntu seemed to only allow for sharing an existing logged in user and I wanted something that would start a new session. ThinLinc however has pretty much hosed my machine and I’d rather try some other options. I can’t figure out how to “uninstall” (nice easy installer… where’s the easy uninstaller? ) advice?

Hello @ericmedlock

First, thank you for trying out ThinLinc.  
We are curious to know why ThinLinc was not an option for you, would you have the time to write a few lines about what was not working in your case, and if there are any improvements that we can take with us?

Regarding uninstallating ThinLinc, it has been answered [https://community.thinlinc.com/t/thinlinc-server-uninstallation-4-12-1/227](https://community.thinlinc.com/t/thinlinc-server-uninstallation-4-12-1/227), but in short:

> ThinLinc is best uninstalled using your system’s own tools, ie “sudo dnf remove thinlinc-_" or "sudo apt remove thinlinc-_ ”.

Kind regards,  
Martin
