Wayland doesn’t mandate anything, it’s a goddamn protocol to put a rectangular window’s content to the screen. It is also freely extendable and has a very sane feature discovery in-built so basically any additional functionality can be created through a simple API (and many such exist already)

But can you run a remote application from another machine on your own machine? This is my biggest obstacle with Wayland. Xorg did it perfectly.
Yes you can with proper compression and usual streaming. X is no longer network transparent anyways (everyone uses proper GPU-acceleration with a litany of bitmaps so it’s not as easy as serialize drawing commands)

So if I SSH into my remote machine, with the appropriate forwarding agents and wayland in place I can run evolution?
Ok I will give that a go.
That reminds me when will Wayland be able to support disparate displays say one big display on 4k with 30 bit colour and two others on QHD and 24 bit colour?
