Remote desktop is not what I’m talking about. Remote applications. Individual applications. Remote desktop is way too much when you want individual apps and for them to respond to your local window manager and copy & paste buffer.
No, it should be an afterthought. It’s not important at all, it’s a niche weird use case. I care way more about having a functional desktop and everything else. I’m very glad it was treated as an afterthought, because I care more about literally every other feature.
Tell me why it being an afterthought matters exactly?
It’s important to your specific niche usecase, maybe.
I’ve never needed to use network transparency, I don’t know anyone who has ever needed to use network transparency, and even if I did, i’d use waypipe… so…?
Great, you don’t use it. I see it in use all over in my company, and in a couple others. It is an important core functionality. That the wayland devs ignored the use case at all to the point of other devs writing wapipe to overcome their screw up is huge.

What’s wrong with waypipe exactly?
It’s an add on, not part of the main spec. That functionality should be the most important core piece, not an afterthought.

Being able to remotely display apps from other servers and workstations is important. Games? Not at all.

That’s not even a screwup, it’s been added, you’re just crying because you think your usecase is the most important for some reason.
It was the core of why X Windows was so much better than Windows.
