Yeah, no, you have it backwards.
The idea was I sign in to my underpowered workstation and run spice (or whatever) on the more powerful server. I would like the outputs to display on my weak computer. That's the whole point of this, and labs still use it religiously.
- tsimionescu 3y agoSure, but RDP and VNC can do that just fine, and don't need any special buy-in from the GUI toolkit to do so. The only technical advantage of doing it the X Server way is if the machine running the program doesn't have the resources/hardware to render. I know it's not a usual case - which is why I'm saying this doesn't need to be built into the window system at all.
- bandrami 3y agoNo, they don't! They're not even remotely comparable. Have you actually tried a setup like this?
