gui doesn't necessarily mean you have to update bitmaps over network to be responsive. It could be done in a protocol(just like ssh is) for low bandwidth/latenc

- oneweekwonder 8y agoTrue; any example of such tools in practice? Only quick one I can think of as I wrote the question is winbox. But then again winbox is just a wrapper for the cli.
- qznc 8y agoThat was X11. A minimal but extensible protocol which survived many decades and successfully adapted through generations of hardware. Over time people created abstractions over it (Gtk,Qt,etc) such that X11 was limited to update bitmaps over network to be responsive. Now X11 will be replaced by Wayland on Linux.
