i know this sounds silly and it should be obvious, but i’ve been using x forwarding at work for a few days now, but it just dawned on me that i’m running wayland on my plasma machine and the x forwarded window is display through xwayland. it works so well that i didn’t even notice a difference and in fact it seems to perform better than on x
this is not even the first time xwayland works better than pure x at work. i also need to use horizon client every once in a while and it got so much more stable after i moved to wayland – even though the application claims wayland is unsupported
Unfortunately X forwarding doesn’t work (as far as I can tell) with vulkan.
What I’ve been doing is using waypipe (which seems very stable), with xwayland-satellite (which is not so stable) on the remote end.
I’d also love persistent sessions, so I’ve been following wprs, but it doesn’t seem to support GPU drawing at all.
Lots of interesting tech, but it’s still pretty immature.
