Does anyone use X11 forwarding with Android devices, so that they can access their UI apps remotely?

If so, what apps do you use and what issues have you run across?

There’s a “MobaXterm ssh” app and while I do love that app on other OS’s it doesn’t seem to be made by the same company so I don’t really trust it

    After years of looking at this and working with x11 forwarding off and on. Honestly, just setup a VNC server and use the plethora of VNC clients for android. In my environment it performs better, and significantly easier to maintain. For my desktop I even find myself just using Steam Remoteplay if I need actual GPU performance over the internet.

    Virtualgl +VNC is excellent if you get it working.

      Yeah I might still go that route, but there’s a lot of stuff where I just need to run a single app and the rest is all terminal so a full VNC session is overboard.

      Also, it’s for a server so the less open ports and daemons running, the better
