bro, did you know that X11 is network transparent for exactly that scenario. the Xclients (running on a central server) can connect to a remote Xserver on the thin client. Xpra can deal with unstable connections. XDMCP can handle multi user environments. It was like magic back in the day. You could have a GUI app running on your workstation in the office displayed in your living room.
AFAIK they have something like that in wayland, too. not sure how complete it is. didn’t try it yet.
one is before the dry summer and one after. you need to do same month


For a user: In Wayland programs are supposed to draw their own title bar. Java aplications and old applications must use a backwards compatibility layer that can cause flicker and bad font rendering. The terminology is different (compositor = window manager). Some niche new programs may only run on Wayland. Wayland hasn’t been adopted by BSD (AFAIK).
For a programners: Wayland has more modern, tidy code, but not all toolkits support it natively and few are easy. If you code exclusively for Wayland, a lot of users won’t use your program at the moment.
this is how it is in this field. the less you hear the better. didn’t hear anything about keepass, for example
