And don't forget the “this isn't a wayland problem” whenever a major missing feature provided by the X11 ecosystem is mentioned. Guess what: if you're going to replace the whole ecosystem, you're responsible for all the missing things regardless of your opinions of the matter.

Yeah I used x forwarding to access matlab from my uni lab from the comfort of my own home, while all the other students had to slog to the lab lol

There is a wayland equivalent. It's called waypipe. In my experiences it often works better than x11 forwarding.

Unfortunately, there's no wayland server for windows, so you can't use waypipe there without pulling in a linux vm or similar.

Also waypipe is inferior by design as it is a proxy added after the fact.

But it does not matter that they now have some kind of a solution for a use case for which they denied that it even exists for a long time. I will avoid Wayland because I do not like the direction and the interests that drive it.
