Raspberry Pi OS • Re: RasPiOS Bookworm Lite with GUI on Pi5

I suspect for some use cases it'll be aroung longer than that. I need an easy, reliable way of running GUI applications (not the entire Desktop) on remote displays before I can drop X11. AFAIK Wayland doesn't have that yet.
Have you tried waypipe?

Doesn't appear to fit my use case (remote X server on a windows box running in multi-window mode).

To use waypipe it appears that I need to:
  1. install a WSL2 instance
  2. Install an X server on windows (or configure the built in WSL2 one) (already have one - cygwinX)
  3. Install Wayland
  4. Download and build waypipe from source as it's not in the repo for the debian build I opted for.
  5. Install waypipe on my Pi
  6. Then to actually use it:
    1. Start the X server (happens at boot on my main rig)
    2. Open a WSL2 terminal and start wayland. That gets me a wayland root window & desktop manager displayed on the X server. Which, at least to me, seems to defeat the object of wayland in the first place.
    3. Open a second WSL2 terminal (or open a terminal in the wayland desktop) and

      Code:

      waypipe ssh user@server application
      With more hoops to jump through if I want a specific cwd for that process.
I'll stick with X for as long as I can. It looks like much less hassle:

Code:

ssh -X user@servercd some/directorysome-application
