I've got 'GigaFiber' as an internet plan at home. My plan gives me about 1000 GB per month at a speed of 1GBPS, which is then reduced to less than 1 MBPS. I've hardly been able to exhaust 1000GBs.
A week ago , I decided to exhaust all these data and see exactly how the devices run at a speed of less than 1 MBPS.
All of the devices are very slow ... Hardly capable of surfing the internet at this speed.
I've been experimenting to bring the full Gnome desktop environment to my remote desktop. Gnome is very resource-intensive, so Xfce is recommended as the first and last choice for every remote desktop.
However, I considered it a challenge made some changes to Gnome Desktop to make it behave as lighter than Xfce as a remote desktop.
Yes to my surprise, the remote desktop (gnome) is acting faster than its counterpart Xfce. Also, I was able to bring a full gnome desktop inside the browser tab.
700Kbps Home Desktop Speed is enough to render the UI of my remote desktop in the browser. Since my remote desktop has a speed of 200 MBPS, I can surf the net at a speed of 200 MBPS even at a speed of fewer than 1 MBPS.

Update: please note:
(1) Here speeds are notionally written in capital letters MBPS / GBPS for shake of easiness. Be bit practical.
(2) I am surfing my remote desktop in browser. My desktop speed is less but my remote desktop is having very good speed.
(3) This is custom built remote desktop. This is why I am able to have gnome desktop as remote desktop .

There is nothing like free electricity but yes you can have better speed and resources of remote machine.
As mentioned in the article:
(2) I am surfing my remote desktop in browser. My desktop speed is less but my remote desktop is having very good speed.
Exactly what is happening:
My remote machine is having 32 GB Ram, 8 cores and 1 TB Drive. Also, remote machine on cloud having 200 Mbps port speed.
I am rendering the UI of this machine through web browser RDP.
My local machine having some ~ 700 kbs which is enough to bring UI of my remote machine. This is all the game 😂
How come in the article there is no mention of screen resolution or frame rate? There is no way to have a decent frame rate (ie: stable 60fps) with a decent screen resolution (ie: 1080p or more) with a connection of 700kbps, is fiscally impossible, now if we are talking of 640x480px at 30fps (and now a days even a low end cell phone has better screen) I would be more willing to believe it and maybe is all what you need in your case but I doubt many people would be able to use it and not feel totally frustrated.
More like, 'How I converted my raspberry Pi to a full fledged gaming machine', and when we read it, it was using Google stadia on Chrome
There is lots of advantages of virtual desktops in cloud. (VDI). VDI is changing whole game from Oracle , red hat, Google and Amazon are doing amazing work on VDI. Please Google for advantages. This time you won't be disheartening with results 😁
I hope you got what is all about. Read more about desktops in cloud and their advantages
Learning new approach like VDI is not debunking. 😁
I'm sorry to point out a critical mistake in measurement units taken. You have 1Gbps not 1GBps.
All measurements done was in Mbps not MBps.
There's a crucial difference between b and B. The former being bits and the latter being bytes. Makes all the difference.
If you'd have 1GBps, you could exhaust your 1000GBs in 1000 sec, theoretically.
Take care for next time...

I am not updating it anymore. Sometimes you believe people read full article before commenting 😂
Thanks, I have added this in beginning of article:

I tried to explain the same to the author. He deleted/hid my comments.
Well you're not really converting anything are you? Just clickbaiting everyone to click on your article. By the way, have you heard of Geforce NOW or Google Stadia? They're giving you a remote desktop to play games for people who don't have the equipment to do so. If you use those services they tell you what resolution and framerate you're gonna get. My internet speed is 10-50 Mbps. Geforce NOW offers me 720p30 with that bandwidth. HOW do you expect a reasonable experience with your remote desktop at ≤1Mbps?
This is a pretty misleading title. Yes, your remote desktop has a 200 Mbps connection and yes, 700 Kbps may be enough to support a connection to your remote desktop. But if you wanted to transfer any data to your local computer you would be stuck at 700 Kbps so downloading anything will be at that speed. Also, at 700 Kbps, I can't imagine that your frame rate and quality is very good at all so watching videos, playing games etc. is out of the question.
Love that your sharing your setup with the community but your title is click bait and misleading.
This is so dumb. It's written very poorly and there is no point in reading it. Anyone with actually slow internet wouldn't have a remote system to use. Yeah it's kinda neat but there are probably a handful of people that can actually make use of something like this.
Clickbait title
So you wrote this article to say that browsing websites in a remote machine is better, but you don't show any evidence or test results like page render times and other goodies all techies would love to see. At the same time you don't even show how you set this up, other than mentioning that your gnome is heavily customized. You should consider a more thoughtful article next time you author anything.
slow clap for mr. manish srivastava. according to him internet is just for browsing text. He has shared no information on what will happen when a person will consume media like youtube or facebook (i.e. image, audio or video). though the pages will load instantaneously in the remote desktop browser, that data will not pass to the user at more than 700 Kbps. Care to explain that mr. manish srivastava. just to amass viewers you have used a sensational title without giving it much thought. very cheap move. shame!
Click bait.
Kindly update the title more relevant to the contents of article. PLEASE.
How it is possible??
It's a custom made solution. Lots of changes .
What changes did you made? Any repo available? I am facing the face challenge my home internet is very slow and I am using under powered laptop.
We are launching it as a new project. Will surely give some people to try 😉
C'mon now
Browse websites over remote desktop and get faster response? If it's not magic, what is it? Show some proff like page load times.
Hey bro, thanks for feedback. The desktop environment mentioned in the article is under development. However, I will require some beta testers. I will flashing the requirement soon in New article.
Meanwhile, on some issues you may try this by self :
