Hi @jeanz
I’ve been a avid user of Thinlinc for years now and I really like the project for what it is providing to us. I completely agree with your sentiment where you state that the Virtual session Thinlinc provides is very good in terms of resuming work on different clients with odd-sized (or counted) screens. It works almost anywhere, anytime, all the time.
The description of what you mentioned what the fixed workflow for the Reddit post would be. It actually makes sense in a way, because basically it’s similar to what Windows does. And given that Thinlinc can use GPU acceleration, it makes me wonder.
Would it make sense to add some (optional) packages to Thinlinc to add a login manager (or session that integrates with existing LMs) that runs on the console of the server (desktop in this case)? So logging in on that login manager would actually start a fullscreen thinlinc client on the localhost (and perhaps with the F8 menu disabled so you can’t accidentally disconnect it)
Because that would basically fix it and make it pretty seamless for the enduser if they want to have a mixed-use (local/remote) workstation.
It could be that this idea is absolute bogus, but hey, it might spark an actual smart idea with one of you guys
