Oh ok. I was under the impression that you could atleast get a MATE session up and running.
Try to clear out whatever changes you’ve made to /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/profiles.hconf, and add this section to it:
[/profiles/pop]
xdg_session=pop
name=Pop Desktop
description=Pop Desktop
screenshot=
cmdline=
testcmd=
description_from_testcmd=false
Also append pop
to the order= parameter
and then restart the service with systemctl restart vsmagent
