> But can I ssh to my remote server and run emacs or another program completely transparently yet with Wayland? Nope. I do that with X11 continuously
The problem is this usecase sucks major ass on X and has for a decade at least. It worked meh at one point, but as modern applications became more complex and X exploded in complexity it no longer makes any sense.
X is an unbelievably chatty protocol. Believe it or not, it's primarily meant to be run on a local socket, which is almost certainly memory mapped. Running it over the network has incredible latency, terrible lag spikes, and your windows will just kill themselves somewhat randomly.
There are newer remote desktop protocols which are literally just better.
