Cendio, a privately owned company headquartered in Sweden, was founded in 1992, employs approximately 20 individuals, and reported $1.9M in revenue as of 2023. Specializing in enterprise and telecoms software, the company develops and supports ThinLinc, a Linux Remote Desktop Server, which assists organizations worldwide in publishing Linux desktops and applications.
On March 13, 2026, Cendio discussed an alternative to TurboVNC, a solution frequently used by IT professionals for GPU-heavy workflows on Linux, noting that 63% believe open-source software enhances productivity. Previously, on March 6, the company addressed issues with SSH + X11 for scalable and secure Linux remote desktop access for large numbers of users. This followed Cendio's official launch of THINLINC USA INC in Indiana on March 2, establishing a local presence in North America. In late February, the company compared its offerings to Kasm VNC on February 27, acknowledging Kasm VNC's role in advancing VNC but identifying its limitations for daily Linux desktop access for entire teams. Earlier, on February 20, Cendio presented alternatives to SPICE, noting that while SPICE serves its original purpose for virtualization, it often lacks performance, flexibility, and manageability for physical desktops, lab systems, or GPU-intensive workloads across wide area networks and global deployments.
