> allowing our programs to run on one computer and display the result on another computer on the other side of the world. I feel sorry for anyone having to use X over a link of that latency. Especially if their internet service has a tendency to go down. How many X clients handle loss of connection better than just terminating? And are there really that many people using X remote as compared to RDP or Citrix. I would be surprised to find out that remote X is widely used in 2020 (if you can even call it’s brief heyday in the 90s while commercial UNIX was losing its balls to Windows NT due to vendor incompetence).. and I would risk the age discrimination suits and fire the IT team. X was already an ugly obsolete piece of crap in the 90s when it was foisted upon us by all the major commercial Unix vendors. It should have rightfully died with SGI, Sun, and/or DEC.
