Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

The Wayland project seems to operate like they were starting a greenfield project, whereas at the same time they try to position Wayland as "the X11 successor", which would clearly require a lot of thought about not breaking, or at least providing a smooth upgrade path for, existing software.

In fact, it is merely an incompatible alternative, and not e

Connecting to a Raspberry Pi through a VPS using a reverse SSH tunnel

SSH (Secure Shell) to a host existing in an internal network through a reverse-tunneled SSH connection to an externally accessible VPS (Virtual Private Server). This setup is described where the internal host is a Raspberry Pi, but can be generalized for any host on the internal network that runs an OpenSSH server.
