uhm, did you know that waypipe with ssh is fast enough to use blender remotely over wi-fi? what? this works much better/faster than x11 forwarding ever did

@mntmn Well damn, now you have my attention.
@mntmn OK *now* you're getting me interested in trying Wayland 😄
@mntmn dumb question because i hardly use gui forwarding: why is this a benchmark? dont x11 forwarding and wayland equivalent not just simply render the gui as images? so like if you were watching an video or a very heavy application is basically the same because it is just colored pixels?
@mntmn Interesting, thanks! Out of curiosity: did you also try one of the game streaming solutions (in particular sunshine&moonlight)?
@mntmn how does it compare to xpra?
@mntmn nice. I like it. However, it is a little unfair. Oldstyle X11 was designed for low bandwidth connections and worked well until extensions were added to transport images and OpenGL renderings. Then X11 sucked.
I could easily use Xpaint as pixel editor via the Internet in the late 1990s over 60 km distance and many hops. However, this was never possible when using Gimp in later years.
Anyway, good to have a solution with Wayland. I love it.
@mntmn Waypipe is such a cool tool. I use it to forward windows from a VM to my host and it's genuinely indistinguishable from a native app ...
@mntmn here's an understandable explanation what waypipe does
