Any reason you're using SSH X forwarding over something like Xpra? It also works over SSH, but lets apps persist even if the SSH connection is broken for whatever reason.
You can even run Firefox via Wayland and forward a persistent XWayland session if that's your cup of tea.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThat sounds like more work than "ssh with one extra flag"
- heavyset_go 5y agoThe latter is, but that's only if you want to use Wayland. Xpra offers persistent sessions behind a single command, and uses SSH by default.
- kzrdude 5y agoSo it's like mosh for X forwarding?
- heavyset_go 5y agoYeah, I think the project describes itself as "screen for X" or something like that.
