In those ten years, clusters in remote datacenters went mainstream, but Wayland has never delivered network transparency except by embedding X. Where are these users who are still running everything on one computer under their desk?
- danarmak 7y agoI think the demand for remote GUI apps went down, for several reasons: - Web apps got better and more common - Windows (and MS SQL Server etc), which are some of the big OS-level reason for using remote GUI management tools, has improved its command-line management story and added UI-less server editions - Network improvements (more bandwidth, more clouds and POPs) made existing 'remote desktop' protocols more tolerable on the Internet, all the way back to the venerable VNC and RDP What kind of remote UI app/workload do you see as common today?
