From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the big issue. It breaks a lot of X11 features. Remote desktop via VNC or RDP should still be possible. Another is ssh and sftp. Edit the file on the client. Another go all in with command line. Nano is easy. Emacs or VIM more powerful but harder. Screen is a useful command line tool too.
Interested in what others suggest.
I agree. It sucks that Waypipe does not work on Xorg. Bad enough that it cannot do HDR or VRR. X11 breaks everything.
Ok, not everything. VNC and RDP work over X11 (not just Wayland).
