Cendio, a privately owned Swedish company founded in 1992, develops and maintains ThinLinc, a Linux-based remote desktop server. Employing approximately 20 people, Cendio's software serves enterprise and telecoms clients globally, enabling them to deploy Linux desktops and applications. In 2023, the company's revenue was less than $10 million.
ThinLinc 4.19.0 was released in the Swedish summer. The release of ThinLinc in 2003 initially lacked session persistence, a feature later addressed by Xpra for Linux users. The company notes the increasing complexity of virtual desktop setups, particularly with GPU-heavy workloads, and mentions NICE DCV as a potential solution. The company also observes the development of Remmina, a remote desktop client, since its initial release around 2009. Apache Guacamole's role in the widespread adoption of open-source projects by enterprises is also highlighted.
