X11 can render individual windows (Xclients) through the network on another Xserver since decades. With XPRA you can even buffer them, to move them from one Xserver to another or make sure they survive network disconnect. It’s very cool, but not widely used.
Did they invent X11 Forwarding over the network?
Btw. when we get wayland forwarding over Network?
waypipe
exists, but it’s still not perfect.Never heard about this. Thx.

Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

Yes, the
ssh -X
flag forwards it.I doubt it’s nearly as secure as OpenSSH though.
it goes through an SSH tunnel
