Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

Exactly. We won’t. We’ll get specialized video stream over network. I’m not happy about this regression. I understand that was a willing sacrifice to achieve better local performance, but I’m not sure it was worth it.

How so? Is there a way for malicious code to start injecting itself into calls to 127.0.0.1?

Sorry, I am not an expert myself, but I think there are some recourses about that in the internet

Or, this file on x.org:

“But the X protocol is still unsecure by design…”

Yeah, to send it naked over the wire would be nuts, which is why everybody uses SSH. But unless there’s insecurity within the computer, that’s a moot point.
