Vorbereitung eines neuen Artikels: "Preisgünstiger Zweit-Computer mit Linux"
Thin Clients mit 4 GB Arbeitsspeicher kosten aktuell rund 60 Euro. Auf diesen lassen sich Desktop-Distros installieren, die trotz des geringen Arbeitsspeichers ausgesprochen reaktionsschnell unterwegs sind. Eine Reihe solcher Distros habe ich getestet und werde darüber berichten.

I have one that that runs Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and runs as my UniFi Controller via a simple setup script.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have installed Proxmox and ran it in a container or VM so that I could back it up that way to my NAS.
You can spend a little bit more for the Extended version of the thin client, which gives you a low-profile PCIe expansion slot for an additional NIC, low power graphics card, or a low power HBA for external storage.

@howtophil @sjmulder Gramted I do ise @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux on some #ThinClients and if I had to install them somewhere I'd likely use @Raspberry_Pi / #RaspberryPiOS or even #PorteusKiosk depending on the use-case.
OS/1337 aims to go even more minimalist and be a sleek option for those that can acceptbsacrificing features for speed and size.
Certainly it's not for everybody but ideally it'll be the foundation for other distros that want to add the desired comfort features to it.
As of now, #TinyCoreLinux can pack a basic #Xorg desktop under 25MB...

@tails #Tails shouldn't care where and how I boot the #OS!
It should also not give a damn where the #PersistentStorage is located.
I'm currently evaluating it for a setup with some #ThinClients as a #privacy-concious #InternetCafe Client where people can either boot their flashdrive OR have the preinstalled #Tails just run as the main OS and have the option to just setup #Tails on their own drive or mount their Persistent Storage.
This isn't too much to ask for, or is it?

If you are considering getting some really cheap N100 computers or Raspberry Pi 5 boards to set up a relatively low power homelab, you may want to consider looking at Dell Wyse 5070 thin clients with a J4105 or J5005 processor.
They are passively cooled, use a laptop power brick, support up to 8 GB of RAM, and use an M.2 SATA drive (not NVMe) and can be stood vertically or sat horizontally.
Since companies are phasing them out, you can find lots of 5, 10, 25+ on eBay and other corporate off-lease auctions for around $30-45 each.
Getting FreeBSD, Debian, Fedora, NixOS, Arch or any other distribution on them is pretty darn easy. As such, Proxmox is also an option for lightweight containers.
There are some minor tweaks to the firmware settings to allow fwupdmgr to update the firmware version properly (otherwise, use a USB boot drive).
Sure, they are bigger than most N100 or Pi 5 with a case, but the thin clients are sturdy AF and you don't have to worry about fly-by-night sellers hawking N100 systems.
HP thin clients would also work, but I haven't used them before as a homelab server.

This website is an absolute treasure trove of information about thin clients and retro operating systems.
It was very useful when I was trying to decide on a thin client for Windows XP gaming. I finally decided on the HP t620.
-
The HP t620 is a great machine for running Windows XP for retro games and apps.
Performance is great for most games at 1080P.
I've recently been playing MechCommander Gold and Age of Empires 1.

Little reminder re #RaspberryPi #IPO: since they have moved over to the dark side now, how about *not* simply rushing to buy alternative "tiny boards"?
When size isn't the top priority, it's occasionally more sustainable to buy used #ThinClients: cheap, and no need for "accessory shopping" (power supply and case "included"). Lots of interfaces. Proper CPUs with AES support. Depending on the model, comparable power consumption.
Currently my favorite: HP t630

I love these #thinclients that can be bought for way less that a #raspberrypi, got 3 of them and two run stuff in docker, third I'm dedicating for #packetradio as it has a real serial port for a tnc.
