is there any alternative to get rid of this sluggish response?

I have a Mac, from the Mac I connect to some jump host, from the jumphost I connect to the target vm. The target vm has the necessary gui software I want to execute. Can this be achieved ?

Everyone says X11 forwarding is faster than VNC or other remote apps. Why is this so laggy in this video, is it because of your network connection, or is it laggy because of X Quartz?

When I try connecting to my schools linux server the ssh -x command it tells me: untrusted X11 Forwarding setup failed, and I still can not open things in gnuplot. I have Xquartz downloaded but it doesn't open automatically likes yours did. What am I doing wrong that's causing the issue?
If I open an Xquartz terminal everything works fine, how can I get macOS terminal to work with X11 Forwarding?

Is your Mac M1 or Intel based? Xquartz crash everytime I try to run Matlab in hpc.

Do I still need to configure /etc/profile on ubuntu?

Thanks for the video. You look like Victor Perkins!

Can I ssh into the mac from windows with x11 forwarding? Would be neat to use X code on windows remotely

This is purely academic. If this is the typical lag performance you get, it’s unusable.

Brother, no one and mean no one is speaking to the issue of REMOTE DESKTOP FOR MAC to MAC. I don't use Windows. I use Linux and I use X11. You're grabbing your credentials for your VULTURE VPS, like that is supposed to mean something to me.
