currently, I have 7 putty windows with X11 forward. I regularly use VNC viewer to connect over slow ADSL links. X is the only desktop focused on network. I was told in 1992 that X was 90% network for 10% graphic. As long as the replacement of X does not not understand that network is more important than graphic, I do not see how X could disappear.
- rbanffy 9y agoI notice I use graphical applications over the network less and less. A lot of my work happens over ssh connections and the most graphical stuff is curses based. Last time I used it a GUI app was running a heavy IDE on a beefy machine from a relatively puny laptop. That and working from a really cool vintage RS/6000 box with AIX with everything running off my contemporary Linux box.
