  • I am currently trying to do that from a Chromebook. I can eventually use the Linux for Chrome to execute remote commands on the Raspberry Pi and I have also generated id-rsa public and private keys on the Raspberry Pi and I am also using a public key to connect to it.

  • Adding to @bls great answer, I suggest MobaXterm if you are on windows. It is a pretty good terminal/ssh client based on PuTTy that includes an X server and auto-configures SSH tunneling X for you. The Pi will still need the proper X packages installed. Googling for "tunnel X over SSH" should help provide more info. Commented Dec 29, 2019 at 20:51
  • I have managed to forward the X11 and even start a firefox window remotely but it was pretty slow and not really responding. I have done this from my Chromebook executing: ssh -X username@IP_ADDRESS and then firefox-esr. Is it supposed to run smoothly on the Raspberry Pi4 with 4Gb of RAM? Commented Dec 29, 2019 at 20:57
  • xclock and xeyes is running smoothly though. Commented Dec 29, 2019 at 20:57
  • chromium-browser is running much better, but it is still a bit choppy. Is there a way to make the X11 forwarding more smooth? Commented Dec 29, 2019 at 21:05
