I’ve been running same ubuntu 18.04->20.04->22.04->24.04 virtual machine for matrix with synapse since 2019.
I’ve run it virtualized on multiple different thin clients, and in fact still do, on a t640. I’ve given 8gb ram and a few cores for it.
On slower cpus, such as the ones the thin clients I used before t640, loading a large room could take some time.
Well, I’ve been waiting for a vnc support for wayland for like 5 years. Better late than never, I guess.
However, there are other gui based remote software: gnome’s baked in rdp, cockpit in a sense…
I have that virtualized, times three. Two to have a failover, and third one with different settings for my kids (cloudflare’s family dns)
Yeah been scrambling to get this one patched.
Thats what I did for 10 years.
To get my wife or parents or kids to use these often hacky and clunkier UIs was pain. I eased up and decided not to care. All iot shit are now in their own vlan with only :443 outboud allowed and I have integrated them to hassio. If my wife wants to use those million different cloud apps, I install those for her.
Decided just not to care.
Some time ago, I had a sales call with tailscale for a business as a consultant.
If enterprise features are needes, theyre 2x more costly per user than a few other sase providers.
While I love wg and been using that for a long time, I have hard time believing they’ll get clients with posted prices. There was some wiggle room, but still.
Personally I’ll use tailscale at home as a backup connection as long as its good.
