I'll have to disagree with you here. VNC is already faster for me than X11 and has the considerable advantage of letting me interact with my desktop, not with just a single client.
For the case of network-delivered applications, we have webapps - the unholy misappropriation of HTML and JavaScript glued together to kind-of sort-of work like an actual application. It's the worst kind of remote application, except all the others.
Don't get me wrong - I don't see the point of wayland at all, but I have also never benefited from X's remote windowing capabilities.
- sixbrx 15y agoI don't get what you mean, because your desktop is just an X11 app, which you can remote by just running gnome-session or whatever your favorite desktop is. I do this all the time.
- nknight 15y agoThat creates a new session, it doesn't connect you to an existing one, or let you share that session with others.
- sixbrx 15y agoWell ... yeah ... you said "desktop" (as opposed to just starting "a single client", was the context). I guess you meant "existing desktop session". I don't see "existing desktop session" as the obvious alternative of "single client".
