ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients (lemmy.world)

So, a buddy of mine dropped off a box of 18 Wyse 3040 & 5010 thin clients. I believe they all run W10 embedded, but doing some research, I think I can also run a lightweight Linux OS like maybe Tiny Core. The 5010 can run SuSE Linux Desktop 11, ThinOS, or ThinOS PCOIP acording to Dell.

So, the burning question I have today is 'If you were gifted a box of 18 Wyse 3040 & 5010 thin clients, what would you do with them'? I want something I can incorporate into my already established homelab.

Inundate me with ideas!

I mean, he probably gave them to you for free for the same reason.

Well, he and I struck up a friendship long ago. He works for a fairly large firm in the IT dept. He has a mind blowing lab at his house, but he knows I like toys, so when he gets his hands on something I might like or use, he makes a delivery. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth as it were. @cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de came up with a good idea about the AllStar node.
