There is no one devoloping for x11 anymore, it is abandonware and dead (even if still usefully sometimes) wayland isn't the new shiny thing but it has been getting devoloped so so slowly and getting little support, because the focus on x11. Death of x11 is better for everyone

Is something like barrier/synergy already working with wayland?
I wanted to try it so badly, but controlling multiple computers with one set of keyboard & mouse is quite essential to my workflow.

Also, does X forwarding over ssh work in some way?
Like, can I open remote GUI programs over ssh on my wayland, like on X11? And less important for me, but still, also the other way round?

Thanks upfront!
I have some FOMO here, but last time I checked wayland couldn't provide me those things, I need for work :⁠-⁠(
