Wayland and screen savers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, we're going to have to struggle with every single X11 feature until Wayland is done ? Still no native network transparency either ? Last I checked you couldn't even control dpms monitor standby with xset and there was no equivalent.
xset is xorg. The equivalent depends on your compositor, e.g.
kscreen-doctor --dpms off
for KDE Plasma andswaymsg "output * dpms off"
for Sway.So every window manager now needs to implement tools to control power management ? That seems very uneconomical.
Equivalent mechanisms exist in Wayland, but XScreenSaver doesn't have logic to interact with them. This can be solved by either teaching XScreenSaver how to talk to these new mechanisms (difficult as it was developed for X from the ground up) or implementing something new.
I personally actually prefer a not finished but clean system, rather than a "it works, somehow, I guess" system
Xorg killed network transparency long ago.
On the server xhost +
On any other computer export DISPLAY=192.168.1.10:0 firefox
That works just as much today as it did back in 1997 when I first used that
