Wayland didn't work out networking, even to this day, which is why I'm still using Xorg.
Wayland as a protocol that apps use to talk to the desktop. It doesn't use network at all really.
You need something like freeRDP for network access.
@possiblylinux127 It is touted as a replacement for X-windows but the PRIMARY ADVANTAGE of X-windows is that you can run a program on one machine and display it on anther making Wayland completely useless in a networked context.
It is not trying to be a one to one replacement. It is a totally different thing. You are wanting a motorcycle to replace your 2002 pickup truck.
Also X forwarding is broken for most stuff. It probably will work but it will run poorly and use lots of bandwidth. This is because there are layers and layers of work arounds to make modern hardware and software work on it. The X protocol was intended for mainframes in the 80's. It should've died long ago.
@possiblylinux127 It strikes me as weird someone down votes a simple statement of fact. I guess they have a problem with reality.
