Why is #X11 on #Linux so complicated? Because it lets you do this https://lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rust-mynewt/articles/wayland
@lupyuen hold up i can make another (fast) computer render an image and display it on my (slow) computer?!
@Stellar Sorry not any more 😉 X11 was designed for olden days when graphics were rendered as bitmaps. Today we render graphics locally with a GPU. Remote rendering would be too laggy.
But Microsoft, Google and others are attempting Cloud Gaming. So maybe we will have a solution someday 🙂
@lupyuen i wish i could use all the computers laying around and make a tiny gaming cloud
@Stellar Yeah I wish they could build GPUs with high bandwidth network streaming built-in
@lupyuen imagine a gpu with a gigabit ethernet port built-in
@lupyuen wireless is cool but nothing can beat the bandwith and stabillity of wire. also with ultre wide band wireless that could quickly make a big cloud of wifi noise
