Forwarding an entire desktop over SSH without third party tools
2019 Community Moderator ElectionOpen GNOME session remotely through SSHWhy does my Emacs toolbar look different over ssh w/ X forwarding on Cygwin vs CentOS?Remote desktop (KDE) over SSH reverse tunnelX11 forwarding over sshFast drop-in replacement for “ssh -X”Linux iptables ssh port forwarding (martian rejection)X Forwarding over SSH when switching usersHow to show and operate a remote Linux desktop when SSH or any other remote service is unavailable?Run X application remotely, run GUI on remote hostWhy do I need XDMCP to start a remote X session over SSH?
Something that's always bugged me and I've been unable to find good information on:
How can you or why can't you forward an entire desktop over SSH (ssh -X)?
I'm very familiar with forwarding individual windows using ssh -X. But there are times when I'd like to use my linux laptop as a dumb terminal for another linux machine.
I've always thought that it should be possible to shut down the desktop environment on my laptop and then from the command line ssh into another machine and startup an desktop environment forwarded to my laptop.
Searches online come up with a bunch of third party tools such as VNC and Xephyr, or they come up with the single window ssh commands and config. But that's NOT what I'm looking for. I'm looking to understand a little of the the anatomy (of xwindows?, wayland?, gdm?) to understand how you'd go about doing this, OR why it's not possible.
Note:
- Xephyr isn't what I'm looking for because it tries to run the remote desktop in a window
- VNC isn't what I'm looking for for a whole bunch of reasons, not least because it's not X11 forwarding but forwarding bitmaps.
