With XQuartz you can also accomplish the same on a Mac. You need to add the -Y option when connecting through SSH (“ssh -Y username@hostIP: ) and then it will foward to Xquartz when starting a GUI app from the command promot. Very handy indeed!
That’s interesting, I have not tried that; but not surprised as good amount of users use Macs as their daily drivers and many might have a need to access GUI apps. Thanks again for the update.
