Wireguard works wonders; if set up correctly, it makes no difference if you're at home or at work. NFS only needs a stable connection; if you have that, you can use cachefilesd to make it faster. If your connection isn't stable NFS will suck. For X stuff you can use xrdp. RDP is way faster then VNC. > Independently of all that, I've never considered switching to wayland, and > do not think any colleague does.

Ugh, Ubuntu ... Wayland is default in Fedora since a while, and I've been reading it's default in Debian as well (but is that true?). > I hope to be able to go on with Xorg until I live. Or use wayland and start living now :) Living in the past seldwhen is a good idea.
