As far as I know, it has to do many round-trips for everything. Launching something like LibreOffice Writer is funny, it will be loading bit by bit, icon by icon for several minutes. It was only usable for me on < 1ms network.\n>\n> Unlike say VNC, it opens windows locally.\n>\n> And now there’s Waypipe which does the same thing, but for Wayland. And it actually works! Even better than VNC.\n>\n> BUT, it doesn’t work for X programs. It can somewhat work with rootful Xwayland… but that’s basically a desktop for X-only programs.\n>\n>\n> Welp, I just wanted to check something on the remote desktop, so I launched VNC, and _**WOAH**_ , I didn’t expect to get XFCE invasion.\n> I didn’t know XFCE can do Wayland now.\n>\n> Anyway, this cursed thing does actually work pretty fine. `xfce4-session` works with Waypipe, good to know.\n\nOC by @user224@lemmy.sdf.org",
