apparently Fedora 25, even if in alpha state (not for long, beta comins soon) is doing extremely well with Wayland enable by defaut. I wonder if there's any graphical/easy_to_setup solution out there for remote desktop management (under another linux machine) out there that will work with Wayland? Or is it too early? Any help appreciated, thanks

I would use the application Vinagre.
You invoke it from the command line like so:
$ vinagre
There is also a applet that should be available when you install it so that you can just pick machines that you've bookmarked with it form a pulldown when you add the applet to your toolbar.
Hi fellow Awesome WM user! I have had this same issue and found out that Awesome WM currently does not support dpi scaling. So that means we are on our own. A lot of applications pick up the dpi from X server. So make sure your X server has the right dpi (several ways: Xorg conf monitor size, .Xresources, cal xrandr with dpi flag...).
Best solution I found until now: just use a large font-size.
You can also increase the sizes of the menu's and other elements that you find too small.
Wayland is not an option if you want to keep using Awesome WM because it implements the X server api, wayland is something different.
IIRC compton is also not going to help because it doesn't help you with scaling acording to dpi.

Updated answer:
There has been recent work to bring remote desktop capabilities to GNOME under Wayland. It looks like the old screen sharing server, Vino, will be replaced by a new GNOME Remote Desktop service. At least for GNOME under Wayland, remote desktop over VNC will be a thing in the not too distant future.
Old answer:
It’s not supported yet. The official answer is “use X if you need remote desktop access.” You can login under X rather than Wayland by clicking on the settings gear on the login screen. There doesn’t seem to be much work on this from GNOME as of yet, with little evidence other than a single initiative page.
