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
You are getting this from Xwayland, so you’re running a rootless X server in the background. It’s nice that it works seamlessly, but it’s not really Wayland doing anything but managing the X window.
yup. it’s still nice and also pretty funny that wayland provides a better x11 experience than x11
that’s how you know that wayland is the future. lol
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.
How are you doing it?
I only tried X11 forwarding over SSH. It was slow and ate up a Gigabit.
ssh -XCit runs a bit slow, but it is surprisingly usable. in some aspects, it has almost the same performance as vnc with the difference that it is integrated with the system. i have a 600 mbps internet connection
