Hopefully someone can shed some light on this idea. Or explain something that kind of fits/fills the use case and need. I am looking for a basic operating system that can be updated across multiple devices like a living OS.
For instance I have a desktop PC high end specs with the same Operating System as a laptop or tablet but it’s live sync. Meaning apps, files, changes made on one system are the same on all devices. I’ve looked at cloning drives and have done it. Far too slow and cumbersome.
This would be essentially changing devices based on hardware power requirements but having the same living operating system synced across all devices so all data and abilities remain the same anytime something is needed.
Maybe I’m being far fetched or what have you and this might possibly be in the wrong Sub. But I assumed it would fall under self hosted almost. Ive considered a NAS and I’m open to other ways to structure the concept ALL IDEAS WELCOME feel free to expand on it in any way. But dealing with different operating systems and architectures of various devices is wildly difficult sometimes for software, mobility, power requirements not watts but processing power, cross compatibility. I’ve seen apps that sync across devices but some desktop apps and mobile apps aren’t cross compatible and with self hosting so many services that function well across networks and devices after years of uptime you sort of forget the configs of everything it’s a nightmare when a single app update or container causes a domino affect. Thanks everyone hopefully this is helpful to others as well with similar needs.
Even when my internet doesn’t suck for a minute, I have yet to find a linux remote software that is not sluggish or ugly from compression artifacts, low res and inaccurate colors.
I tried my usual workflows and doing any graphic design or 3d work was impossible. But even stuff like coding or writing notes made me mistype A LOT, then backspace 3-5 times, since the visual feedback was delayed by at least half a second.
So your basically limited by speed and bandwidth. That sucks because another poster above mentioned things clients and remote connections. Nothing is as frustrating as trying to do something with lag and delay.
I think I am limited by the software.
With a gigabit ethernet connection, I was not able to have a good experience.
So what was your end solution? I love the idea of remote desktops but it always seems it’s laggy, basically the issues you described. I’ve tried stuff like teams, and some other legit remote connection software but it never was smooth flowing. Resonsiveness is sort of the killer to this or it would be awesome.
