  3. wprs

    wprs implements rootless remote desktop access for remote Wayland (and X11, via XWayland) applications.

    maybe this: https://github.com/wayland-transpositor/wprs

  4. rustdesk

    An open-source remote desktop application designed for self-hosting, as an alternative to TeamViewer.

    For remote desktop use cases, I’ve found RustDesk to be pretty good, especially if you can self host the relay: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

    I especially enjoyed that I can use AV1 for the encoding (better quality even at lower bitrates), being able to switch resolutions easily and also the response times being pretty quick.

  5. run_scaled

    Discontinued Run an X application scaled via xpra. Useful on hidpi screens.

  7. arcan

    Arcan - [Display Server, Multimedia Framework, Game Engine] -> "Desktop Engine"
