Hi,
I'm evaluating some thin client to connect to ovirt VMs, used as desktop
workstations.
I really don't care about native client support, I distribute via PXE a
custom linux OS launching remote viewer.
I'd like to have good multimedia performance, at a reasonable price.
Googling a little, I focused on a couple of vendor: https://www.igel.com
and https://www.10zig.com/.
Anyone has already tested those vendor products? which model? which is
the (approx.) price?
Obviously any hint on other vendors are welcome.
The scenario is composed of about 1500 VMs, running on ovirt (RHV to say
the truth), distributed over 3 datacenters, currently accessed using old
(5-7 years) PC, that I'm planning to renew.
TIA,
Giulio

For best multimedia performance a resonable graphics card and cpu in
your thin client is needed and up-to-date remote viewer version.

I used thin clients from IGEL in many setups. If you want good
multimedia performance (watching full HD videos in your vm) you need
the UD5. IGEL is a good solution when it comes to managing thin clients
as they have a great management server for it. The downside is that
IGEL thin clients aren't really cheap and remote viewer comes in a
quite old version.
One of my customers uses Intel NUC devices with Fedora on it (PXE boot)
and has a much better performance as with IGEL UD5, but to be fair he
compared it with the 5 year old UD5 model. This is mainly because of
the newer processors in Intel NUC and new virt-viewer of Fedora.
Hope this helps.

Yes, a customized fedora, distributed via PXE is exactly our solution.
Often many thin (or zero) clients lacks of CPU power and graphics
performance (a symptom is that audio and video are out of sync). I'll
give a try to Intel NUC.
Thank you,
