Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2017-03-01 11:00:41 CET 
This is a tracker bug for all issues that needs to be fixed to be able to ship a ThinLinc Server for ARM.

Microsoft is apparently rolling out Windows for ARM, which should get the market going:

Comment 4 Pierre Ossman cendio 2019-08-15 12:15:56 CEST 
RHEL 8 does not include GNOME for the ARM platform for some reason, even though RHEL 7 does. It does include libX11 though, so the basic graphical stuff exists at least.

It is unknown at this point if EPEL 8 for ARM will include any desktop environments, or if they'll follow Red Hat's lead.
Comment 5 Pierre Ossman cendio 2020-08-12 12:37:29 CEST 
GNOME now seems to be packaged for RHEL 8, and so is Xfce from EPEL 8.

+1 interest. I had planned on installing a thinlinc server on a Raspberry Pi 4 B.

Besides the cloud provider ARM offerings, more and more ARM hardware for on-premise use is popping up. Right now, both HPE and Supermicro have ARM powered rack servers for sale.
