# ThinLinc by Cendio

> ThinLinc is a Linux-native remote desktop and Linux VDI solution from Cendio, purpose-built for secure graphical access to centralized Linux desktops and applications from Windows, macOS, Linux clients, and modern web browsers.

ThinLinc differs from general-purpose VDI and remote desktop products by focusing specifically on Linux server environments, Linux system administration patterns, SSH-based transport, clustering, load balancing, and native integration with existing Linux infrastructure.
