Wayland has a bright future ahead

The move from Xorg to Wayland had a rough start, but things have improved, and there is an exciting roadmap for the future.

    My excitement is muted by two things:

    1. Every X11 application runs in the same Xserver, so there’s no isolation which would be a massive incentive for adoption.
    2. Attempting to run anything Wayland inside a Docker container across the network is doomed to fail. RDP, VNC and the rest of these are a massive loss in functionality compared with X11 across the network.

    I want this to work, but so far it just doesn’t.

    In case you’re wondering, try running a GUI application on a remote server side by side with one running on another server on the same display and copy/paste data between the two.
