Wayland does not allow you to simply forward a graphical application over SSH as you might with X11’s -X or -Y options.
That's too bad. It is a feature I use sometimes.
The same applications will continue to work in this case under Wayland. Did you even try before responding with "too bad"?
I can not try, I don't have any wayland running, nor intend to run it. I simply trusted the report.
Can't it happen that a machine installs only wayland, and ssh -X/Y doesn't work?
If you intentionally disable Xwayland (not sure if there are any knobs to do it short of removing the package) or use some niche compositor that does not support Xwayland - yes, it won't work. But all mainstream desktop environments integrate Xwayland.
I will be happy if ssh -X/Y continues working.
