Xpra: Persistent Remote Applications for X11

The description makes me think this can reproduce a cool workflow demonstration I saw a few years ago on reddit[1]. [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/k1eu0n/durden_wor...

You could probably tweak something like Barrier for the kvm/cursor move, and use XPRA to move the window, sure. No idea how much/little work it'd be but doesn't seem like it should be all that complex.

Okay, but X11 is deprecated. Is there a modern version?

Deprecated according to Red Hat maybe but very much still relevant.

I don't think the existence of Wayland means X11 is deprecated. Lots of people (including myself) would prefer the perfectly working X11 than the feature-incomplete backward-incompatible "modern" wayland

Last I checked this didn't support HiDPI, a technology invented over 10 years ago.

I haven't yet seen any compelling reason to move off of X11. It's been years since I've checked - what's the current state of the art ?

It's deprecated by the people who wrote it, and AFAIK no-one else has taken up the task of maintaining it. Doesn't mean you can't use it (I still use it still, thanks to said breakage), but it's not exactly thriving.
