```

$: ssh -X user@domain

user@domain: $ electrum

...and get a gui interface (via XServer)?

Last time I did this was probably 20 years ago using PuTTY

I found that typically what I needed to do remotely was satisfied by regular terminal interface. Running GUIs remotely generally wasn’t worth it. If a remote GUI was needed, i generally found that full Remote Desktop was the easiest path.

Agree, just geeking out a bit at the cool factor of pulling up an app GUI remotely w/o the need for full up remote desktop setup...
