@cm0002 Yes I have tried it, I am using Ubuntu 24.04, if I use Wayland, X-forwarding does not work, if I use the Intel Xorg X server, it does.
@solardirus Yes, RDP, VNC, and SPICE do not USE X redirection so naturally they will work fine, but try this, while you are on one server using wayland, ssh -Y server into another, and then launch xsol or xclock or synaptic or any other X-application.
@solardirus @cm0002 Someone already attempted to make Wayland Network, it’s called Wayland on Wires, but it just kind of fizzled. Wayland users aren’t real Linux users, they’re gamers, outcasts from Windows and they really should have stayed there. Xorg users by contrast are people using Linux to do real work, over the network, which is where X shines and Wayland fails outright, so it is good that XLibre exists.
@cm0002 I find it sad that people act this way but honestly, Redhat has always impressed me as being intrinsically evil, perhaps just slightly less evil than the likes of Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, etc, but evil none the less.
I remember the old days of Xfree86 and the fork that became Xorg, so not the first
time through this and I look forward to Xlibre becoming a viable and functional
replacement for Xorg that, unlike Wayland, networks.

@Fredselfish I have not personally used it, I’ve just seen it advertised as working with LibreOffice.
@Fredselfish Is Prowriter same as ProwritingAid? If so yes, if not I don’t know.
@cm0002 A fool and his data…
@cm0002 I was actually kind of Sad to see Windows 7 die, it was one of the lesser bloated operating systems Microsoft produced, certainly superior to Windows-95 and Windows 98. Really, if Windows 3.11 had a built in network stack, I would have been happy to stay with that, so far as my Windows usage goes, though my computer spends 99% of it’s time in Linux.
@cm0002 Slipperly slope.
@tonytins Ubuntu-Mate however will. But really it does not matter if it is included by default as long as it is installable.
@cm0002 I know the deep state wants us all to have Windows or Mac so they can spy on us, and if they can’t force us into shit operating systems then they want to pollute ours so they can spy on us.
@cm0002 Wayland doesn’t Network, glad to see work is going forward with X.
@cm0002 When we have Emacs, Nvi, Vim, Nano, wtf would we pollute our systems with Microshaft?
@cm0002 Ubuntu isn’t ditching X altogether as advertised, some of the spins, including Mate which I use, will continue to support X.
@cm0002 To bad, guess I’ll have to switch distros.
@ikidd @cm0002 This is the major reason I prefer the lighter desktops, Mate, XFCE, LXDE, LXQT to monstrocities like KDE Plasma, Gnome (especially as configured by Ubuntu, less unpleasant on other distros), and yea, I know that Gnome and KDE can both be configured to not be so obnoxious but time in the day thing.
