===== Why do we need X2Go KDrive? =====
The main reason - we want to be able to run modern desktops such as Unity,
KDE-5, Gnome-3 and the applications built with the latest toolkits without
limitations.
===== What is the difference between x2goagent and X2Go KDrive =====
x2goagent (or nxagent) is based on NX technologies. It's basically kind of
X-proxy (like Xnest). It accepting X-protocol requests from X-Client and
forwarding them to remote X-Server. In opposite, X2Go KDrive is a real X-Server
(like Xephyr). It's processing the requests from X-Client and rendering images
on the remote display, like normal X-Server rendering them into the graphic
display, using the video driver. You could say, that the difference between
x2goagent and X2Go KDrive it's the same as difference between Xnest and Xephyr.
- ===== Advantages of x2goagent =====
+ ===== Advantages and disadvantages of x2goagent =====
x2goagent (also called nxagent) is using the NX protocol, an optimized
version of the X protocol. That means that instead of sending images over the
network, it forwards the X-requests like "create window" or "move window from
one position to another" or "write text in the window". This leads to a very
good performance even over slow networks old (legacy X applications). In
contrast x2gokdrive does not make use of this protocol and its optimizations.
+
+ On the other hand there is also a disadvantage: x2goagent currently does not
support some (nowadays) important X extensions like XInputExtension 2 or
Composite. Some modern Desktop Environments require them and can therefor not
work on x2goagent.
===== Advantages of X2Go KDrive =====
==== 1. X2Go KDrive based on the recent X.Org code ====
Unlike the NX-libraries, which are based on obsolete X.Org-6, X2Go KDrive is
based on the recent X.Org-7. It brings multiply advantages:
* We can run without any limitations any modern Desktops and applications.
