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.
I use Sunshine with the Moonlight client for Remote Desktop. With my computer running Tailscale I can connect to it from anywhere. It’s designed for game streaming on a local network, but tweak the bandwidth settings down and it works a treat for remote work.
I’ve used waypipe and it worked in my testing.
I will have a look, thanks!
Try wprs or waypipe?
Alternatively you could consider sshfs and open the file in a local editor.
Does RustDesk run on Wayland? I’ve had a good experience with it.
I have tried, but need a working display and user interaction (that i didn’t have at the time - thus needing a way to log into plasma remotely)
Its fairly trivial to get linux to pretend there is a display (wayland / x11 agnostic) if you ever find yourself in that situation again.
are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?
will nano or vim work?
Or emacs
It’s probably me, but I find yaml file very difficult to edit in nano. I used to use stuff like kate or gedit and it was way easier for me.
PS. besides yaml I use nano or vi for everything else and I love them.
You could also try micro, which is a terminal text editor with mouse support, syntax highlighting and many more features that you know from GUI text editors.
vim should make yaml editing easier and you’re familiarity with vi should help a lot.
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).
I think that’d be VNC or Remote Desktop these days. Wayland deliberately did away with the networking stuff.
