It offers features like built-in support for redirecting webcams and smart cards, configuring remote apps, regular security updates and hardware-accelerated video decoding to extend the battery life of your device, ideal when working on the go. As of today, we are the main contributor to the FreeRDP project. In the last months we spent days and nights looking for bugs and implementing new features, which directly benefit the further development of FreeRDP. **How to install** `sudo snap install thincast-client` **How to run** Start the application from the command line: `snap run thincast-client` or `/snap/bin/thincast-client` **Keychain, local removable media, microphone support, printer and video redirection** When using Thincast Client with Snapcraft some features are not auto-connected and must be connected manually: * Password Manager `snap connect thincast-client:password-manager-service` * Local removable media (CD, USB-Sticks) `snap connect thincast-client:removable-media` * Local printer redirection `snap connect thincast-client:cups-control` * Audio recording `snap connect thincast-client:audio-record` * Webcam access `snap connect thincast-client:camera` * Smart card access (requires a working pcsc daemon running on the host) `snap connect thincast-client:pcscd` The full documentation can be found here: **Tested Setups** We have tested a lot of different platforms and setups, but we’d love to hear your feedback from using Thincast Remote Desktop Client. \*\* Reporting feedback \*\* ℹ️ For more information, visit: 🔒 For Privacy Policy, visit: ✉️ Feel free to contact our customer support team for any questions you may have: support@thincast.com ### Package name * thincast-client --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * 12 June 2026 - latest/stable * 14 September 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [thincast.com](https://thincast.com/en/products/client "https://thincast.com/en/products/client") --- ### Contact * [thincast.com](https://thincast.com/contact "https://thincast.com/contact") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/thincast-client/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Thincast Remote Desktop Client Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Thincast Remote Desktop Client To install Thincast Remote Desktop Client, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install thincast-client ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
