It is also virtually impossible that a virus enters a Linux Thin Client.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zero Clients<\/strong>, instead of an operating system, have a specifically designed processor for the <strong>three VDI protocols<\/strong> (PCoIP, HDX, or RDS).<\/p>\n<p>Most decoding and display processes are conducted in <strong>dedicated hardware<\/strong> and therefore, it is more efficient to use a client software and a standard CPU and GPU as with a Thin Client configuration.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Zero Clients only takes a  few seconds to turn on and are immune to viruses, malware, and other threats. Thus, it <strong>decreases total downtime of the device and increases productivity for end users<\/strong>.
