I actually do, yes.
All of my machines at home and online are all Linux machines, one of. Some of them have graphical UIs for various reasons. With that, all I need do is include the -X forward in my ssh config, and I can run X apps and display locally.
Right now, I have 3 programs running on remote machines. I don't have to care where they are... because they're right here on my desktop. It just works.
And Wayland/Mir/whatever doesn't. That's trading security problems for a purely worse experience.

- ackalker 10y agoThis is about forwarding individual remote applications, not entire desktops.
- krylon 10y agoI think RDP can do that, too. At least on Windows there is something called RemoteApp (or something like that) that does just that. (I have never used it, though!)
- teh_klev 10y agoThis is the skinny on RemoteApp. You need to be running Windows Server 2008 or later as the host machine: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753844(WS.10).aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753844(WS.10).... Citrix have a similar thing called XenApp: https://www.citrix.com/products/xenapp-xendesktop/ https://www.citrix.com/products/xenapp-xendesktop/
