My sense is that this is probably what people would see. It will |
| 15 |
probably work fine for any of the major DEs, but you'll find these |
| 16 |
little cases of tools that aren't ported. One BIG area that will be |
| 17 |
affected is X11 forwarding. I'm not sure if that works over ssh or |
| 18 |
not with wayland, but wayland in general doesn't support network |
| 19 |
sockets. |
