Welcome to ThinLinX

Based in Australia, ThinLinX Pty Ltd has pioneered thin client hardware and software for over 22 years. We’ve evolved to focus on cutting-edge software solutions, delivering top-tier thin client, digital signage, and IoT gateway capabilities. Our products leverage high-volume hardware like Raspberry Pi, Intel/AMD small form factor (SFF) devices, and even repurposed PCs and laptops—transforming them into efficient thin clients or vibrant digital signage displays.

Introducing RePC Live USB: Perfect for Secure Remote Work

Our latest innovation, the RePC Live USB version, is ideal for work-from-home setups. Simply insert the USB stick into your laptop or PC, boot from it (press F10 or your device’s boot key), and access TLXOS in isolation from your local OS. When done, remove the USB and reboot into your standard system.

  • Secure Connectivity: Pre-configure with OpenVPN or WireGuard for encrypted tunnels to remote desktops or apps.
  • Remote Management: IT teams can use our free ThinLinX Management Software (TMS) to apply hotfixes, configure settings, and manage devices remotely.

TLXOS: High-Performance, Low-Cost Operating System

TLXOS is a lightweight, Debian Linux-based OS that installs in minutes. Paired with our free TMS tool, it enables global remote management—including firmware upgrades, hotfixes, licensing, and configuration.

Key Benefits

  • Affordable Pricing: One-time fee of US$10 for Raspberry Pi or US$15 for other devices. Free lifetime upgrades, hotfixes, and email/help desk support (responses typically within 24 hours).
  • Robust Security: Runs read-only with a RAM disk overlay, plus a writable directory for configs and updates. Easily restore to factory defaults via console or TMS—impossible to “brick.”
  • Minimal Requirements: Needs less than 1GB RAM and 2GB storage for high-performance single or dual-display desktops.
  • Versatile Protocols: Supports Citrix HDX, VMware Horizon Blast, Microsoft RDP/RemoteFX, Parallels RAS/2X, and more.
  • Digital Signage Mode: Seamlessly switch to signage for advertising, timetables, or info displays. Upload your own content (images, videos, webpages) via TMS—no third-party fees.

TLXOS Security Features

  • Immutable by Design: Core OS is read-only; all changes go to a RAM-based tmpfs and vanish on reboot. Impossible to brick.
  • Instant Factory Reset: Ctrl+Alt+R (x2) locally or via TMS remotely wipes all configs in seconds.
  • Encrypted Remote Access:
    • VNC shadowing with SSL (stunnel)
    • Full remote management via TMS over HTTPS
    • RDP with NLA support
  • Built-in VPN: WireGuard (native) and OpenVPN for secure tunnels.
  • Live USB Isolation: RePC Live boots entirely in RAM, completely isolated from the host PC.
  • Password-Protected Config: Lock Tlxconfig to prevent unauthorized changes.
  • Secure Licensing: Encrypted trial/perpetual keys, revocable if device is lost/stolen.
  • Diskless PXE Option: No local storage = minimal physical attack surface.

Result: Highly tamper-resistant, easy to recover, and secure by default – ideal for kiosks, corporate thin clients, and public signage.
