Brian, I don't really understand your point about your thin clients, LTSP images and remote connection to RedHat VMs.
From what I can tell, the lower spec thin clients we have are older Wyse celeron based with 1Gb of RAM. My thin client boot from LAN with the TCE-NG setup and simply download a 230MB OS image and run from it diskless. They start the X2Go client in display manager mode and eat about 512MB RAM, OS image included (running apps goes for about 200MB). Since it's direct X2Go connection, there is no local stuff, only remote and these low specs Thin Clients perform as good as the higher specs PCs we converted to Thin Clients and which are 4GB, Core i3/i5 and more ...

It worked really well for me with a XFCE set up on one project I was working on. However both XRDP and X2GO could not provide a good visualization for my current project that has thin clients pulling down LTSP images. The LTSP desktop images are all low resource but we use them as a jumping point to connect to Red Hat VMs. The only connection method I found that could support a decent desktop experience for our users as with X11VNC + XDMCP. I went through xrdp/x2go/NX and even Horizon View and all had either poor performance or in the case of Horizon View were just not really meant for Linux yet (the support is pretty awful).

I've recently upgraded to Debian 9 with KDE Plasma 5 and had some issues with X2Go, checked the wiki and found that Plasma 5 is unsupported at the moment. I researched alternatives and discovered ThinLinc. It's a commercial software, but free for home use up to 5 concurrent users. Works with Plasma 5 and performance is good, at least for my use case. When/if X2Go gains support for Plasma 5 I may go back, but for now I can't use it.
