Running small Wyse Zx0 Thin Client PC as a Desktop PC using Q4OS-TDE.

I have been playing with several older Wyse Zx0 Thin Client PCs.  I have bought them like brand new on Ebay for less than $25 dollars including shipping!

They are cheaper to buy than a Raspberry Pi 4B.

They have pretty limited system resources, but I upgraded the RAM to 8GB.  The internal SSD is only 16GB.  But that is plenty for Q4OS!

They are simple and cheap little Dell/Intel dual core PCs.  Not many Linux distros run on these limited resource little boxes well.  I installed Lubuntu on one of them, but it wasn't very fast and it used up most of the limited SSD storage space.

Thanks to Q4OS I am now running them as little standalone desktop PCs!

They are now running quite fast for these tiny PCs and are as solid as a rock!

I use one of them to surf the web and to watch movies.  I am using it right now.

Here is a good research resource for the Dell Wyse Zx0 Thin Client PCs:

This site also has a lot of info for using almost any model thin client PC as a desktop PC.

Very good site.
