i know this sounds silly and it should be obvious, but i’ve been using x forwarding at work for a few days now, but it just dawned on me that i’m running wayland on my plasma machine and the x forwarded window is display through xwayland. it works so well that i didn’t even notice a difference and in fact it seems to perform better than on x
this is not even the first time xwayland works better than pure x at work. i also need to use horizon client every once in a while and it got so much more stable after i moved to wayland – even though the application claims wayland is unsupported
ssh -XCit runs a bit slow, but it is surprisingly usable. in some aspects, it has almost the same performance as vnc with the difference that it is integrated with the system. i have a 600 mbps internet connection
