    Agree, network transparency is a super power user feature.

    And frankly VNC is good enough.

    I just found it sad that a really powerful feature was dismissed as “no-one actually wants this” (yes I do) and “just use VNC” (I shouldn’t have to) and “just plug a monitor in” (well yeah).

    I would have hoped that is have been a protocol extension or something rather than outright dismissed as “doing it wrong”.

      I think thee main reason for some of Waylands feature cuts next to security and legacy stuff no one needs anymore is the unmaintainable giant X11 became but I agree, some sort of reliable way to extend the protocol directly would be cool to have eventually, usually that stuff shouldn’t really be in the protocol itself ether tho!

      Oh hell no. Vnc isn’t application specific, dynamically resizable, and requires adding that to remote hosts when ssh and x is already there. You know nothing, John Snow.
