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.

I still don't know why people are willing to give up remoting so willingly. With X it was always easy to send your accelerated video securely over the network. Didn't Wayland drop this? How are people remoting securely into Wayland desktops now?
You mean something like waypipe? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe/
This seems good. Is there a preferred solution for headless Wayland desktops?
I mean, I think most people use xwayland to keep this functionality.
Agreed completely though, we need a better replacement for remoting, it's too useful.
Do a significant amount of people using wayland even want or need to remote exactly like in X?
There is a variety of remote desktop applications that support Wayland, Brodie talked about them in his video regarding Wayland's lack of network transparency. Wayland does not need network transparency to be able to support remote desktop.
