xwayland-satellite provides rootless Xwayland integration for any Wayland compositor that implements xdg_wm_base and viewporter, without requiring the compositor to implement Xwayland support itself. It runs as a standalone process that acts as both a Wayland client and a nested compositor for X11 applications.
Use cases
- run X11 apps on a Wayland compositor without native Xwayland support
- add rootless Xwayland to a minimal Wayland compositor
- avoid implementing Xwayland support in my own compositor
- run legacy X11 applications under Wayland
- set up Xwayland as a systemd user service
- handle HiDPI scaling for X11 apps on Wayland
When to choose
- your Wayland compositor lacks built-in Xwayland support
- you want rootless X11 window integration without compositor changes
- you need a standalone, composable Xwayland bridge
When to avoid
- your compositor already integrates Xwayland natively
- you need perfect mixed-DPI scaling for all X11 apps
- you need a full X server for remote or nested X sessions
