How is it compared to X11 forwarding?
1 comments

Well to my surprise, waypipe seems to be faster, especially when it comes to input latency and such.

I assumed it was a bit slow because of the long startup lag; but it seems it's mostly because of my slow (WiFi) network, and is even worse with X forwarding.

I just tried opening the same (simple) application through waypipe and through X forwarding, and using waypipe it's actually a lot more usable.

(Using waypipe 0.9.0-1 as packaged in Debian).

Thanks a lot for the answer!

I’ll give it a go when I have a wayland system
