Should I use RDS for small office?

I have a small offic of 10-15 employees, each use a seperate pc, some are old some are newer.

They dont need powerful resources as they use simple tally software and office suite, each runs windows 10 or 11, 2-3 run AutoCAD on thier systems but lightweight drawings. But sometimes an employee loads heavy drawing or document or accounting files which takes a second or 2 and sometimes it freezes.

I tried out windows server 2022 with RDS on my already existing server and it seemed much better as having 15 pc with each running windows was already wasting lots of ram.

Since rds allows lots of users in a single machine, this means the base ram wasted on just running windows is saved, shared resources means mostly itll be idle but when a user loads heavy stuff itll be smooth as there are lots of spare resources available, so nothing freezes up and there is no network delay between accessing files, besides the tally software supports multiple users.

My plan ja to buy super cheap thin clients and have them wired to the network and access the RDS, it feels completely

Benefits I found:

Muchh more stability in performance Much less was te age of resources If electricity goes out I only need one machine to put on backup (thin clients go poe and yes ik monitors also need) Running nvme in raid means no storage bottlenecks nor drive failures Easier backups for me Dont need to buy new pc for each person added Cheaper

Though I heard that RDS is not much supported anymore and people facing problems?

Thinkining of going with 1-1.5 cores per user so a total of 12-16 cores and 48-64gb ram

What's your thoughts on this?

Edit: seems itll be better to go with individual pc instead of a general server based on all responses, thanks everyone!

Aero Music addon for torbox

Hi everyone, I'm doing a public beta of my addon now. I already have 10 users who have been testing and I'm expanding to 30 slots to test how the addon holds up against it.

(Will expand slots further after stabilising worg current slots)

https://aero.pandoric.dpdns.org/

Best is 24 bit 48kHz but you can go no limit if you really want tracks above that quality. Its a case of 99.98% vs 99.99% difference

Many tracks dont have above 24 bit 48kHz anyway

Make sure you remeber your username ive set a hard ip account limit

Please do tell me if you run into any problems. Some region locked songs might not play but thats a minor problem rn.

Every new song will take 40s to a min to be available but after that it gets cached on your debrid and play within 2-3 seconds each time.

Songs which are already cached by someone else will have a ⚡ symbol near album name (user toggle in config as this can break lyrics, also the symbol only shows up on search for now)

Expect breaking changes as its only a beta

This addon is for eclipsemusic app & beatboss app
