Exactly. We won’t. We’ll get specialized video stream over network. I’m not happy about this regression. I understand that was a willing sacrifice to achieve better local performance, but I’m not sure it was worth it.
Yeah, to send it naked over the wire would be nuts, which is why everybody uses SSH. But unless there’s insecurity within the computer, that’s a moot point.
Btw. when we get wayland forwarding over Network?
waypipe
exists, but it’s still not perfect.Never heard about this. Thx.
Neither was X11 so it’s in good company

forwarding over Network?/c/foundthenvidiauser
Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

It’s more about security if I recall correctly
How so? Is there a way for malicious code to start injecting itself into calls to 127.0.0.1?
Sorry, I am not an expert myself, but I think there are some recourses about that in the internet
Or, this file on x.org:
