@The Linux Experiment Problem with Wayland is no support for Networking. I think the general trend is for Linux to become Windows and that's unfortunate because Windows sucks. I understand people wanting to get away from Xorg, and Xlibre at least on my platform isn't usable yet, but Wayland does not do the one thing I really need and that is remote network display.
