ThinLinc is a powerful remote desktop solution for Linux systems, providing secure, efficient, and user-friendly access to centralized Linux environments from anywhere.
Unfortunately Cendio, the company behind ThinLinc insists on NOT makeing their client software available under an open source license. So for the time being there are no official GNU Guix packages for the non-free/binary ThinLinc Client.
Here is how you can run still run the ThinLinc client on GNU Guix:
$ wget https://www.cendio.com/downloads/clients/tl-4.16.0-3389-client-linux-dynamic-x86_64.tar.gz
$ tar zxf tl-4.16.0-3389-client-linux-dynamic-x86_64.tar.gz
$ cd tl-4.16.0-3389-client-linux-dynamic-x86_64
$ guix shell --container --network --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --preserve='^XAUTHORITY$' \
--expose=$XAUTHORITY --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix --emulate-fhs coreutils bash libx11 fontconfig -- ./bin/tlclientPS: I tested this in a guix docker running on ubuntu. But I guess it would work on a real Guix setup too :)
$ docker run --privileged -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $XAUTHORITY:/root/.Xauthority \
-e XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -h $HOSTNAME -it metacall/guix:latest
