I am using a Synopsys tool on a remote server. While X11 forwarding does work, it is noticeably unresponsive and slow. It is slower than using mobaXterm on Windows, which convinces me that this is a Wayland specific problem rather than the X11 forwarding itself.
From my brief searching through the issues it seems that Wayland does not want to embrace the X11 forwarding protocols. I can live with the lag for now, but I was wondering if Wayland does not care to improve the X11 forwarding issues and it’s better that I switch to some other desktop environments that support X.org?
I do like the GNOME UI, it would be a shame if I ditch this just because of a slow X11 forwarding. I wish I could ditch Synopsys instead, but I hope you know how it is with licenced tools..
I find that it’s necessary to tell ssh to compress the connection when X11 forwarding.
Try ssh -C but if the app is graphics heavy compress does not work to speed up X11.

Not sure if it’s a viable solution for you (although ssh tunneling should work), but have you considered using Gnome-Remote-Desktop on the remote server with an RDP client?
Not sure if that would help the lag, but I’ve found it’s generally much faster than forwarding specific apps via ssh.
