ThinLinc

About

ThinLinc is an enterprise-grade Server-Based Computing (SBC) solution that lets organizations centrally host Linux applications and desktops in the data center or cloud. By moving compute power from individual workstations to centralized servers, it aims to reduce hardware costs, simplify compliance, and keep sensitive data off end-user devices, since only encrypted pixels are sent to the client. All traffic is routed through industry-standard SSH tunnels and TLS, and the product is built on open-source components such as TigerVNC, noVNC, and OpenSSH.

The product is positioned for IT teams and DevOps engineers who want control over their Linux environment. It is described as integrating into existing Linux setups, using plain-text configurations and standard log files, and including a session broker and load balancer designed to handle thousands of concurrent users. Users are said to get a "local-feel" experience for demanding workloads such as EDA/CAD, with GPU acceleration and Wayland support noted.

ThinLinc is developed by Cendio in Sweden and is offered as a commercially supported package with a free tier for up to 10 users. The website text does not specifically describe a Mac application, so this description covers ThinLinc as a whole.
