Ubuntu Desktop in the cloud
- mquander 17y agoFor consumer use, I have to imagine that having desktop-on-a-USB-stick (natively booted, or with VirtualBox) is more practical in every way than desktop-in-the-cloud. The only thing you can't do as well is share it with someone else.
- andrewtj 17y agoSomewhat counterintuitively in low-bandwidth environments a desktop in the cloud can be quite useful. Last year I was stuck on a very spotty 3G connection for several weeks and found it significantly snappier to connect to an NX desktop I happened to have at the time (for experimenting with T2 SDE and Poky but that's another tangent) for email and browsing.
