Imagine the use case of carrying a light, weak computer and connecting (via 3G/4G or wifi) to a home server running linux to ensure a consistent work environment. How would you do this? VNC over SSH? Isn't there a better way? VNC has issues. Does SSH really cover that?

ssh -Y?
VNC or SSH over VPN is how I would do it. But you'll need sufficient upload bandwidth for your home network.

under no circumstances is this going to be like streaming a desktop locally or being at the actual desktop itself.
There's huge mouse and input lag, don't expect to watch anything or edit any sort of video from the client.
But for browsing, coding and shitposting, it does the trick just fine.
and yeah, use SSH and VPN. Use ufw and fail2ban to piss off bots and assholes as you normally would.

uh... wow. thank you. I wasn't aware that this was a thing.
I'm still a little confused on how remote x11 works in terms of compositing and the like. I'd really prefer minimal load on the client side.

SSH runs on a potato.

But x11 rendering draws power, no? Particularly if we're doing something that requires gl, such as (potentially) compositing, right?
>>58746996
It mainly drawns bandwith
