Excellent news. I just bought a Fujitsu thin client for €18.00 to scratch the Raspberry itch but will definitely try to get my hands on a Pi 4.

- theWreckluse 3y agoCan you run Linux on a thin client? Also where did you buy them for so cheap?
- rvense 3y agoAs far as I understand, most thin clients nowadays are just PCs, usually AMD embedded SoCs with very good support for Linux.

- zh3 3y agoNo problem running lightweight distros on them, though the really thin clients tend to be underpowered for web browsing. Available very cheaply on ebay, and pretty much all support remote boot so easy to run diskless (assuming some minimal local server).
- nmstoker 3y agoAfter the only ones being low spec for ages, there do seem to be some higher spec ones becoming available - I nabbed a Pi4 8Gb yesterday. No sign of Zero 2Ws yet though
- rcarmo 3y ago2Ws require a specific fabrication process that will take a while longer to ramp up (due to the RAM-in-chip)
