   Yes, daily, for single applications. Usually over my house ethernet but   
   sometimes over the Internet (although it perhaps should be noted, within   
   a single ISP).   
      
   If I need a full desktop session I usually use remote desktop (or turn   
   my chair round to the other side of the office l-) I gather that can   
   also work with Wayland but I’ve not yet needed to try it.
