If you're only working on Linux, you almost surely want waypipe [0] instead of xpra. If you need support for other platforms, though, xpra is still a pretty good solution.

- amelius 2y agoUh, only if you want to use Wayland.
- simoncion 2y agoYep. Despite what Redhat would have folks believe, xorg works fine and will continue to work fine for the foreseeable future. Plus, if one wants things like functional screen readers, suitable-for-video-games Vulkan frame pacing [0], and many other things that you'd think would be table stakes for a project that's been running for at least 15 years, one's only choice on Linux is xorg. [0] The only reason the Steam Deck isn't a disaster is because Valve has been carrying a patch for a "Make frame pacing not garbage" extension that the Wayland people have been refusing to merge in for the past two+ years.
- p_l 2y agoSteamDeck uses gamescope which, outside of defaulting to provide XWayland as the actual API to applications, uses special Vulkan extension to essentially remove compositor from the pipeline other than things like performance overlay, making DXVK and others render as close to direct to scan out as possible.
