Not sure what you're talking about here, Haiku's window system has network transparency, with drawcall-forwarding, even. In fact there is an HTML5-based remote client for it!
- maxharris 7y agoThat's cool! I didn't know that. Perhaps people might be interested in porting Haiku's graphics system to Linux to replace X11?
- waddlesplash 7y agoProbably not. The entire reason that the remote-drawing works is that the draw calls are passed through all the way up from the widgets and controls layer; for apps that don't use those (e.g. Qt apps, etc.) it's just a dumber VNC (we could make it less dumb, but, a little starved for time right now.) So then you would be porting the entire Haiku toolkit to Linux ... and at that point why not just use Haiku? We have our own kernel for a reason :)
