what I want.
People still use it because Wayland lacks certain functionality like
network transparency (you can run X11 apps on another networked
machine). Certain desktop environments/windows mangers don't support
Wayland.
Sure, most of us have used XDMCP, SSH tunnelling to start full X11 sessions, or the DISPLAY environment to run xeyes on a colleague's workstation, I never tried LBX.
The Wayland people seems to ignore that, so X11 users will stay.
Does anyone genuinely use X11 remotely? Remote sessions for Wayland can be done with VNC/NX/RDP/SPICE/QXL surely?
