AFAIK XPra forwards the contents of an X server. This will likely be useful on macOS as a client only, i.e. you'll be able to view windows from other machines. You won't be able to use this to connect from a Linux machine to macOS and see native macOS graphics – you may be able to see X windows when connecting from other machines, but that's much less useful. Nonetheless, this is a useful tool and we don't yet have it, so a port would be welcome. Note that we do have x2go, which serves a similar purpose but uses a different encoding. HTH, -- Clemens
