Editing my photos over a layer of video compression artifacts doesn't sound fun. Web apps are a more reasonable replacement for X11, with browser client much more capable to do low latency local processing. The only problem is lack of easy support for local apps and LAN-distributed apps. Probably still easier to add than to support low input latency eventually consistant Canvas over X11 or VNC.
- kaba0 4y agoThere are lossy and lossless compression algorithms.
- ncmncm 4y agoThe roles of client and server being force-swapped is another perhaps unfortunate development.
- msh 4y agoWhy? I think who should be client and who should be server is entirely context/application specific. Sometimes I want to be able to connect to a server from any random client and continue the session.
- ncmncm 4y agoBecause now you never know which is which without a separate explanation. Might just as well call them A and B.
