Brooklyn Nicholson 6a2909fe5a fix(desktop): disable GPU acceleration on remote displays to stop flicker ... Users on remote/forwarded displays (SSH X11 forwarding, VNC, RDP, WSLg) reported the window flickering during scroll/streaming; nobody on native Windows/macOS ever saw it. Root cause: the app shipped with Chromium's default GPU hardware acceleration and no remote-display handling. Over a remote connection the GPU compositor can't present accelerated layers cleanly across the wire, so the surface flashes on repaint. Local sessions composite on the GPU and never hit it. Detect a remote display before app `ready` (detectRemoteDisplay in bootstrap-platform.cjs) and fall back to software rendering via app.disableHardwareAcceleration() + --disable-gpu-compositing. Software compositing is rock-steady over the wire and the CPU cost is negligible next to the connection's latency. HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU overrides detection both ways for VNC/screen-sharing setups we can't sniff or remote hosts that do have working acceleration.		2026-06-03 00:36:59 -05:00
