XMinG for Local Use and XMinG for X11 Forwarding

Windows 10 has WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) and it launches a terminal by default. Here's how to run Linux GUI apps from that terminal:

• On Windows, install XMinG
• In terminal:
• Open ~/.bashrc
• Add a line: 
• export DISPLAY=0.0
• Run: 
• source ~/.bashrc
• Test: 
• sudo yum install xclock -y && xclock

VNC is boring with all remote apps shown in a virtual display rectangle, here's how to use X11 Forwarding to open remote apps in separate windows:

• Install and test XMinG as above.
• Enable X11 Forwarding on server:
• ssh someserver
• sudo micro /etc/ssh/sshd_config
• Find and set these:
• X11UseLocalhost no
• X11Forwarding yes
• sudo systemctl restart sshd
• sudo yum install xauth -y
• logout
• Run test:
• ssh -Xv someserver
• It says: ".Xauthority does not exist", run again:
• ssh -Xv someserver
• xclock
