Wayland? 🥺

Development of the Wayland specification and multiple Wayland compositors is funded by the X.org foundation, and done largely by current and former Xorg developers / maintainers.

So it still works!

Wayland is good, it is nice to be able to forward X apps over ssh though

You could use waypipe with wayland. There’s also a RemoteDesktop xdg-portal, but it’s implementation is a bit spotty

‘ssh -X’ will do x11 forwarding if the config on the remote system is set up properly

I tried Wayland on 2 machines and got major issues on both so no thanks. It’s a nice thing for multi-monitor setups though

Is that with an Nvidia GPU? Apparently that can be problematic in its current state. Wayland on my AMD card has been basically flawless, but your mileage may vary.

Can confirm, I was running GTX 1070 and Wayland was unusable, after hopping to AMD it is flawless.

One of the machines had hybrid AMD APU+AMD GPU and the other one had Intel integrated graphics
