This should be the replacement for most of the legacy X-based (like for example Toger VNC) remote desktop tools:

This is already available in Fedora in some capacity. Main focus seems to be on RDP, with some support for VNC as well.

How well does 'X forwarding' ("Wayland forward"?) work?

A lot of time I don't want a remote "desktop", but rather just launch an app and have it sent over an SSH tunnel (-X/-Y).

Thanks for this, almost forgot it. Works great on Fedora Workstation 39.

Wayland forwarding over SSH: done

Awesome, this might be just what I needed! I need to run vscode and it seems to be possible if you launch it with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland . I'll play around with it the next days, thanks!

RDP as a protocol does support remoting just apps (RAIL: Remote Application Integrated Locally, or RemoteApps).

However, for Wayland compositors, this is a distant future; right now, Mutter supports connecting to existing, already running session (desktop). Ability create a new session over RDP is in the works. Everything else is after that.
