Parks helpdesk asks whether thin-client kiosks still need local updates. What should the operator tell them?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Thin is not zero. A tiny OS still wants an occasional firmware or embedded patch — more than a protocol puck, way less than imaging a parks laptop. App Volumes layers apps onto VDI desktops; it is not how you patch the kiosk OS.
Full Explanation
Thin clients retain a limited local OS or firmware stack, so they still have a lifecycle of vendor updates, unlike a true zero client that is protocol firmware only. That lifecycle is far smaller than a fat-PC image. Equating thin with zero is the common miss. App Volumes delivers applications to Horizon desktops; it does not replace thin-client OS patching.
