ARM single board computers are pretty common these days. They are durable(because they usually produce less heat), cheap, small and consume little power. So if one wants to buy a computer to use as thin client, one of these would be a very good choice. Many found for under 50$ or even as cheap as 10$-20$ with mainline kernel.

Yep, if only all the remote apps had an arm version.

arm SBCs since 2015/2016 like Raspberry Pi 3, Rock64, should be capable for thinstation. Newer SBCs are more capable and cost slightly more. And armbian could be a good base OS, it offers builds for many SBC.

Armbian is not the answer for all SBCs. For instance, the best option for my Le Potato is a custom Debian.

It’s open source. Recompile it if like for any platform.
