Add a Desktop Environment + VNC support
Desktop environment support with VNC could very well be added . It will help people who intend to use OpenGl programs or just need GUI for some task not suited through command line. TurboVNC can be easily used for this purpose and it can be accessed through any VNC client. As far as DE is concerned , Xfce can be used being the lightest among all . If you need a reference for this implementation , just let me know , i will share the link
Share with us the link, I would like to have a look at it. Thank you.

That's the file , as far as i can understand .. the part we are interested in starts from Line 272
I also got a summary stating how exactly it works , which will help you understand the concept even better
Hopefully this will be helpful
On another note , if you remember you had added ngrok region support on feature request of mine. I dont see it anywhere mentioned currently in reamde file . I obviously do know about that feature and use it but many other users might not necessarily know about it . Preferably , you should add it in getting started section as and maybe add a 1 liner like its currently there for ngrokToken , password and githuburl
I recently tested remocolab, and I think that it's a pretty good module. It's still maintained by the original author (he's last change was on August 8th 2020).
I believe that colab-ssh and remocolab can co-exist in the same notebook (I will test it even further). I think we can add a tutorial in our docs that demonstrates how to integrate remocolab with colab-ssh and we can improve from there.
is there any update on the integration with remcolab to add desktop environment support ?
