Again: learn UNIX distributed computing architecture.

Not going to waste more my time explaining this.

Telnet is a way more low level protocol. Please learn what you are talking about and have a good day.

  • Pjmlp is right. You need to read on how X was designed for remote work.

    • Johannes's point was, I believe, that using VSCode remotely works fundamentally different than using apps remotely via X. I don't think he is confused about how X was designed.

    • Designed badly, in this case.

      Arguments to authority aren't appealing. Arguments from logic are. The fact is that X and VSCode's remote protocols are designed very differently, and in high-latency and high-jitter connections (and many low-bandwidth ones), VSCode's protocol is simply better.
