Hi, is the 2019 LTSP working with newest ubuntu ?
21:15
<vagrantc>
there's LTSP 22.01 now
21:15
which should work ...
21:16
<bluejaypop>
ok, i used it from 2016, and we're going to use it again, with raspberry clients is it possible that works?
21:19
<vagrantc>
probably? :)
21:19
you need clients fast enough to run as workstations, all the software generally runs on the client themsevles
21:19
so older raspberry pi clients might not be so great
21:20
<bluejaypop>
ah, so only the server is for the image?
21:21
I used to work with the server as the one who runs all the software itself and only the terminal to run as a thin terminal to load the image and work over the network as a local user in the linux server.
21:25
<vagrantc>
yeah, the model has shifted as X11 network transparency is basically loosing support in newer software
21:25
so the old model just breaks in some cases
21:26
the shift from x.org to wayland for many things accelerated the issue, but it's been slowly happening even with x.org ... applications making poor assumptions, etc.
21:31
so the model shifted from thin clients to network-booted fat clients where all the applications run on the client hardware for the most part
21:31
for the last few years of LTSP5 that was also the recommended model
21:34
<bluejaypop>
i understand, so i need a little more powerful client pc now
21:35
<vagrantc>
my wild guess would be rpi3 are probably the smallest you'd want to use in the raspberry pi world...
21:37
<bluejaypop>
maybe yes, in my case is for software development, so the server might probably run the process

21:37
<bluejaypop>
only editors and some client software run in the client pc
21:38
like DB, Webserver, etc will run from server's side
21:41
<vagrantc>
yeah, obviously depends on your use-case
21:41
though the number of times people say "I *just* want to run a web browser and ..."
22:08
<bluejaypop>
i understand vagrantc , thanks for the hint
