Is it 99% of users? Of the linux (desktop/laptop) users I know, the majority use X-forwarding over ssh at least occasionally, while non-linux (desktop/laptop) also use X-forwarding (this is in an academic context), so while this may be an improvement for a subset of linux (desktop/laptop) users, across the whole linux user base (excluding both Android, which does not use wayland, and embedded, which I understand does use wayland), it's not.
- UltraSane 7mo agoX-forwarding isn't used nearly enough to justify it having to be used all the time.
- rbanffy 7mo agoI don't think I have used X-forwarding in the last 10 years unless for checking whether it's still there. Most of the time, it was, and running a browser even on a nearby machine was not a pleasant experience. Running Emacs was less bad, but the only things that actually worked well were probably xlogo and xload.
