Some things just don't work properly on Wayland. For example, #NoMachine remote #Plasma desktop sessions connect, show a white screen, then disconnect. Switching to an X11 session solves the problem.

This is a showstopper, so I'm sticking with X.Org.

Things like this needed to be ironed out before making it a permanent and exclusive replacement.

Yeah the remote desktop stuff isn't quite there yet eh? And I was wondering how they were going to replace X over ssh as well.

Isn't waypipe meant to replace X over SSH?

I don't know enough about Wayland, so maybe?
