Hello there @openwick, welcome to colab-ssh community!

Could you please mention why this should be on our radar? Could you give us some relevant use cases that could push us to consider this feature?

Have a great rest of the day!

Hi @WassimBenzarti X11 forwarding enables us to run GUI applications over SSHwithout the need to install any VNC or RDP. If I want to render something and want to visualize it X11 forwarding is one way to do it and efficient compared to full RDP. This video demonstrates how to use it and some use cases in the beginning.
