The go to OS for thin clients? (alien.top)

I got some Wyse 3040s and I'd like to configure one or 2 to run as thin clients for Proxmox. I may eventually do an LTSP server, but for now I'd like Nomachine and Spice support.

I found Winterminal, but I'm not sure if it supports nomachine(?)

A lot of the distros I am finding for this sort of purpose seem a bit out of date.How does Thinstation fair these days? Seems like a lot of configuration is needed..

I'd use Fedora or silverblue perhaps for this, but it doesn't appear to support the arm chip?

We have a bunch of these at the hackerspace. They run vanilla debian and connect to a terminal server using xdmcp. Works like a charm.
