It’s great when you have a problem and you just stumble upon a solution on Lemmy out of nowhere.
I haven't tried this yet, but I will. I have a question, though. Can this be used on a remote server over ssh?
Yes. I do this. You'll want to look up X forwarding.
Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.
Only if you can vnc/rdp into you server or forward x11.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
