I see that “ThinLinc does not support Cinnamon desktop” but also " ThinLinc supports most common desktop environments on Linux Mint, including Cinnamon, Xfce, MATE,"?? ---

Try removing the redshift autostart file from your home directory, and creating a new session. Otherwise, Cinnamon should work fine in ThinLinc. The only thing to note is that because it is a compositing desktop (i.e. requires a GPU), you may get less performace from it than a non-compositing desktop such as XFCE or MATE. Hope that helps. ---

Thank you Aaron, I ended up installing XFCE which allowed thinlinc to successfully connect. I then removed and re-installed cinnamon environment which also worked correctly.
