From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Look into either X forward or Xpra. No need to run a GUI at all, you can run only the browser itself.
X forwarding will require a little more setup: https://docs.cse.lehigh.edu/xforwarding/xforwarding-win/ (first link I found on google)
Xpra would be just an app installed on the client (and server)
xRDP is no issue, I've set that up before and already have it running on a mockup mint MATE I've spun up. They're gonna need more than just browsing, so looking for a full (locked down) desktop environment per user.
X11 Fordwarding isn't xRDP though. You don't need a full blown graphical session to run.

I wouldn't install Mint for production either, I'd use something like Debian stable or Fedora.
ah, so it's like xenapp?
I'm not super familiar with Citrix, but yeah kinda.
Seems like maybe a good use for Kasm Workspaces. Use persistence in each session to save settings, files etc...
