I'm really tired of this Wayland horseshit. If there was an actual reason for users to use it, fine, but instead it breaks forwarding and vnc and xclip, and for what exactly? Why should I upgrade?
Wayland improves:
- Multi-Monitor support (especially with multiple different resolutions)
- HiDPI support (even if some of your programs haven’t been updated for that yet)
Now why does wayland break xclip and vnc? Because "every program is a keylogger by default and can see any event, look at the contents of any window" is a major security issue, especially as it means the entire security model of screen lockers or containerized applications is useless.
Under X11, basically every application you run can trivially escalate itself to root. As even your Zoom client can just listen to your key events when you unlock your screen or use sudo in your terminal, save your password, and tada it can elevate itself. Under X11, there is no security whatsoever, and no separation of privileges.
So what's the remote login or rendering solution for Wayland? I don't really care about security or efficiency or whatever, I just want something that works.
