wat?
Joshua Hughes
No.
Camden Hill
looks like whole os in a browser
Anthony Taylor
not a new concept or a good one. I am struggling to understand what OP is trying to point out.
Mason Price
I've considered buying a Chromebook then VNCing into a server to do work. Have any of you tried this?
Anthony Kelly
Has Doom ultimate installed though
Asher Scott
You can do it.
Chromebook runs Gentoo out of the box, so yeah
Matthew Allen
I also considered doing this, but I imagine the latency would be unbearable.
Kayden Evans
VNC is usually slow as shit
Jayden Price
Age-old idea, ("Thin Client"), verdict: Internet not fast enough yet can work on LAN
Carter Jenkins
seems pretty fast using this actually but agree you will be limited by your connection speed. will try it on 4g if runs on phone
David Cox
If you could install this on AWS or something would actually be useful. But not hosting it on your home pc.
Austin Rodriguez
you probably can its on github
Noah Martinez
or something like Neverware: neverware.com
Austin Rivera
That desktop would almost be good if it didn't have that 2nd redundant taskbar.
Wyatt Morales
isnt that just open windows?
Elijah Hall
It seems pretty fast because it's not VNC:
Instead of streaming the display output over the net the UI/programs run in your browser instead of on their server. That's why they don't have to transfer a lot of data
Cameron Rodriguez
seems a better approach for slower cionnections, what would happen if network went down though?
Julian Jackson
It depends but probably the programs would stop working and you can only interact with the UI (like drag windows around).
Basically the sort of thing that happens if e.g. Discord or some android "app" that's just a one-site-browser loses connection.
You can just try it for yourself and see
John Morris
seems to reconnect when you rejoin network, still worked off line
Ryder Moore
don't think i'd want to do serious shit with that sort of thing but it could be neat for 'away' use - travel with a cheap chromebook and don't give a fuck if it gets stolen because everything important is on your server safely at home
David Sanchez
This has got to be the biggest botnet next to the blockchain
