Project mention: Dropping GNOME's X11 session approved for Fedora 41 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc
Project mention: Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-10This is great, but currently very limited; partial support for Windows. Seems inclined more towards Apple.
