. I strongly advocate using VNC (tunnelled through an ssh connection, if you like) - quick guide: 1) start `Xnvc` (preferably through the `vncserver`) - you'll need the xorg-x11-Xvnc package (on openSUSE); 2) connect to it with a VNC client (e.g. tigervnc, but there are more). It is also possible to attach to a running desktop session with x11vnc.
Are you trying to indoctrinate people for Wayland? Some background for this 'warning' definitely is needed.
I haven't mentioned Wayland anywhere, my statement was: "I strongly advocate using VNC". If you would you like my opinion on Wayland, please move it off this thread.
I'll definitely not start a whole X session just for a single console application that might (or not) open some graphics window.
I haven't mentioned starting a whole X session (I suppose you understand it as fully fledged GNOME/KDE environment). What Xnvc/vncserver does is a matter of configuration. Speaking of console application that may open a X window, that is actually easily done with VNC as well. Just ssh to the remote side, export the DISPLAY environment variable pointing to a Xvnc server running on that machine and you are all set up (you may need to export XAUTHORITY as well).
