   @emacsen X forwarding works fine on my GNU/Linux machines, but I do use Xorg based DE's.
   
   You're going to have many problems if you run wayland mind you (there's meant to be a remote window mode extension, but I don't know how well that works).

     Back in the '90s I could run GUI applications on one computer and interact with them on another computer. That was how X worked.

     It even worked securely over SSH.

     I didn't need to forward my full screen either, just opened applications as I needed them.

     25 years later, that doesn't work anymore, and that makes me sad.
