Is there any possibility to have something similar to X11 forwarding using Wayland?

I have to edit some big config file and would be great to have that functionality back.

    This is the big issue. It breaks a lot of X11 features. Remote desktop via VNC or RDP should still be possible. Another is ssh and sftp. Edit the file on the client. Another go all in with command line. Nano is easy. Emacs or VIM more powerful but harder. Screen is a useful command line tool too.

    Interested in what others suggest.

      I agree. It sucks that Waypipe does not work on Xorg. Bad enough that it cannot do HDR or VRR. X11 breaks everything.

      Ok, not everything. VNC and RDP work over X11 (not just Wayland).
