September 3, 20196 yr Hi, I have a spare Pi4 knocking around and got thinking about using it to access a Windows 10VM on unRAID? Does anyone do this? is it viable? Thanks!
September 3, 20196 yr You can also use the VNC client included as standard to access the VNC interface to VMs without the need to install special software inside the VM. Having said that RDP (or an equivalent) is likely to give snappier graphics performance.
September 4, 20196 yr I've been looking into this too; I think I'm going to try: https://www.masterkenneth.com/2018/07/raspberry-pi-thin-client/Been looking to run a win10VM on Unraid and a east way for kids to remotely access it on the cheep lol. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Lots of thin clients including, I think, VNC, don't handle sound well, or at all.

Have sound on a VM on Unraid working remotely using RDP so I think it's possible but I'm afraid it is probably going to prove to be a pain. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
September 7, 20196 yr It might be worth trying out NoMachine as I see they have clients specifically for the Raspberry Pi and in my experience NoMachine gives better performance than Microsoft’s Remote Desktop.
September 19, 20196 yr Try this http://thinlinx.com/. I'm running VM Win10 on unRaid which is in the basement and use rPi as a thin client. Works perfect.
