ThinLinc 4.21.0 beta

Hi,

ThinLinc should work fine on Ubuntu 26.04, however the default desktop environment on this distribution (GNOME 50) has removed support for X11, which ThinLinc requires. We currently have a plan to support Wayland instead (see here), which will allow GNOME 50+ to be used in a ThinLinc session again. However, we generally recommend using other more lightweight desktop environments anyway such as MATE or XFCE, since these tend to give a better end-user experience in a remote desktop session. So if you haven’t already, please give these a try on Ubuntu 26.04 and see what you think; ThinLinc ships with predefined profiles for these desktop environments, so it should be sufficient to install them from the Ubuntu repositories without any additional configuration. Hope that helps!
