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.

Honestly, Linux very much not as polished as Windows when it comes to a multiuser terminal server.
With that being said you need to look at xrdp and X. Make sure you lock down security and configure your desktop.
Honestly I would not use something with a preinstalled desktop. Start with a base image and then install the basic desktop and apps you need. You can always use custom configs to make the desktop look like whatever you want.
I'm all for Linux but terminal services is not a common use case.
