Wayland forwarding?

Is there any possibility to have something similar to X11 forwarding using Wayland?

I have to edit some big config file and would be great to have that functionality back.

Alternatively you could consider sshfs and open the file in a local editor.

are you using a graphical editor to edit the file?

will nano or vim work?

It's probably me, but I find yaml file very difficult to edit in nano. I used to use stuff like kate or gedit and it was way easier for me.

PS. besides yaml I use nano or vi for everything else and I love them.

You could also try micro, which is a terminal text editor with mouse support, syntax highlighting and many more features that you know from GUI text editors.

vim should make yaml editing easier and you're familiarity with vi should help a lot.

I use Sunshine with the Moonlight client for Remote Desktop. With my computer running Tailscale I can connect to it from anywhere. It’s designed for game streaming on a local network, but tweak the bandwidth settings down and it works a treat for remote work.

Its fairly trivial to get linux to pretend there is a display (wayland / x11 agnostic) if you ever find yourself in that situation again.

I think that'd be VNC or Remote Desktop these days. Wayland deliberately did away with the networking stuff.
