Not all change is always considered positive.<br /><br />History has had innumerable instances where progress has reversed, knowledge lost. The Romans had concrete, not rediscovered for 1100 years. The European trading ships that reached China were puny next to the giant trading ships that Zeng He used 200 years earlier.<br /><br />And of course, Windows Vista.Curt-https://www.blogger.com/profile/15378506296755879713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728206713477106822.post-79147940445325521152011-03-04T11:55:42.242-05:002011-03-04T11:55:42.242-05:00Yes, this part is fairly easy (there even exist X1...Yes, this part is fairly easy (there even exist X11 displays for Windows from which you can do remote ssh -X). However the problem will be when the remote server has Wayland. However i feel after a few painful years someone will develop a native network protocol for Wayland too (I dont mean the bitmap transfer protocols like vnc/nx).Pankajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123915232914933383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728206713477106822.post-19754876119002811812011-03-04T11:49:57.664-05:002011-03-04T11:49:57.664-05:00Toby: I hope so, but once network graphics aren...Toby: I hope so, but once network graphics aren't inherently in the desktop, the functionality will suffer. VNC and such have been touted as a solution, but it's certainly not an equivalent solution. The real problem, even with the shim (with whatever inconvenient configuration it requires), is that eventually, the apps you want to run remotely probably won't support X any more.Tadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067268967354562688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728206713477106822.post-366705112031553892011-03-04T11:45:06.001-05:002011-03-04T11:45:06.001-05:00Mick,

It is highly likely that there will be an X11 shim for Wayland to allow remote X11 apps to connect to a Wayland display. There are other tricks around to provide the same functionality too - I've been using xpra successfully for a few years as a better-performing X11 display over SSH links with higher latency.Toby Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843981581002490982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728206713477106822.post-91282144284174926092011-03-04T10:24:47.435-05:002011-03-04T10:24:47.435-05:00Don't enjoy this functionality too much.

Initially you'll be able to select another distro or even force Xorg to be installed, but eventually it will be moot as applications start dropping X11 support since Ubuntu and Fedora pretty much influence everyone. Personally, I think this is a fabulous feature and one that I use daily. I'm sad that Wayland without network support seems to be the future. Too many people seem to want Linux to be a drop in replacement for Windows.Tadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067268967354562688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728206713477106822.post-11370338090432467602011-03-03T17:07:23.737-05:002011-03-03T17:07:23.737-05:00Don't forget rsync over SSH!
