The network is 1G and there is some segmentation, some of the devices do need to share files with devices on other networks. Eventually I'd like to just get everything that needs to talk to each other on one network and partition the rest but that will take some time to implement. Thanks for replying.

That was sort of the solution initially, using Dell Wyse thin clients with Teradici cards. But those devices are failing and from what I see are very expensive to replace so I was asked to try and come up with an alternative.

EDIT: You're also right about the fan noise, thanks for replying.

Everything is on Windows, I did initially try to run Fedora Kionite but the freeRDP didn't seem to have the level of device redirection as Windows. I'm using the built-in Windows RDP solution to do this at the moment. Essentially all the audio equipment soundboards, mic, etc are connected back to the remote computer via CAT5/6 cable so the thinclient is there to allow them to control the remote computers and keep noise out of the studio. I appreciate your response.

I didn't have a hand in setting up these studios but my understanding is everything for audio input is ran directly back to the computer being remoted into over CAT5/6. So the audio is being captured in the studio with a mic that essentially has a long cable running back to the recording computer. The thin client is just there to allow them to control the computer remotely. Also, thanks for your reply.

I've been installing Aruba switches at several locations throughout my company and don't have any complaints. Can't speak on the cloud features as I do not use them. GUI is fine, it allows me to do what I need.

For me it was partially Windows 10 placing suggested apps and ads in the UI. The other part was just curiosity. After some distro hopping I landed on Mint, then Fedora and finally Arch where I've been for about two or three years.

Windows phones were really solid, OS was very user friendly and stable. I personally didn’t feel the “app gap” that a lot of others complained about but, I use my phone for browsing, calls & text. If I recall correctly it was also ahead of the curve with PWAs, integrated them really well. And price/performance was good on some models like the Lumia 650.

Nice, does the heavy lifting with Xorg files, display server is not something I've messed with on Linux. I really like having a pretty GUI to use.

I'll check it out, I do have something on hand though that I'm thinking of going with. As any self respecting "computer guy" I have waaay too many towers around the house and am right now planning to try to use an optiplex 5040 MT as a proxmox box running a pfsense VM and maybe some storage too.

EDIT: Fixed some typos/grammar

Nice, I’ve also thought of installing PFsense on it and using it as my home router. But that seems like kind of waste of its potential. It’s perfectly sized for that purpose though.
