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

Well, it performs worse when used to stream 1440p games, but it shines used to allow corporate remote workers to click buttons on java apps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
