Pi4 - A Dual Monitor Thin Client for Citrix

What you need

• A Raspberry Pi 4 - You can get a kit for $80 or so on amazon. Get one with a fan!
• Additional mini HDMI to HDMI adapter. The kit ususally somes with 1, get 2 for dual monitors.
• Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse... I'll assume you have these laying around because you are interested in this project.
• Decent SD Card. The kits might come with one, but it is nice to have an extra!
• Download Balena Etcher to copy the image onto your SD Card.

Needed a display port emulator to convince the BIOS there is a monitor attached. Another $8.
