When you run X through the terminal, where will the main load be: on the terminal computer or where Linux is installed?

Question

linux

There is a weak netbook with Linux on board - will running X through the terminal on a more powerful computer help get rid of freezes? All you need is a web browser

Answer 1

You can ssh into programs on a remote computer and they will be rendered on your low end netbook. Since the program, although it is rendered by you, runs on a more powerful remote computer, the load on the netbook will be small. The method is not suitable, of course, for 3D games, since network bandwidth and traffic encryption severely limit the ability to render a large number of frames per second.

Answer 2

In X, everything is the other way around and the server is where the keyboard and monitor are :) But there will only be rendering, the "client" takes care of all the settlement work. Of course, you can’t watch the video, you can’t play games - but this is a common remote access problem ...

Answer 3

depending on what you are doing in these X's.
How far is the server intranet or internet ?
How weak is the computer
, what is the speed of the network
? Not really at all.
