Exactly. We won’t. We’ll get specialized video stream over network. I’m not happy about this regression. I understand that was a willing sacrifice to achieve better local performance, but I’m not sure it was worth it.
Their reasoning was that X11 network transparency had been broken for quite some time. If you tried running chrome, most games, or anything with modern hardware acceleration over X11 forwarding, they wouldn’t work.
So, IMHO waypipe is actually an improvement in terms of compatibility, rather than a regression.
It’s really more like Remote Desktop+. It has some additional “features” (slight retch) on top of traditional Remote Desktop features.
Let’s wait and see if it’s actually more secure than traditional Remote Desktop.
(and I’d still rather use Wine)
Did they invent X11 Forwarding over the network?
Btw. when we get wayland forwarding over Network?
waypipe
exists, but it’s still not perfect.Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.
