Remote Desktop and ssh -X or ssh -Y

Issues with RDP and ssh -X, and it seems extremely slow, even over home network.

Getting it to work, you need to enable over Settings, System, Secure Shell

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Uncomment the following two lines

# Authentication:

LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

I still have not had remote desktop work, and it's also in settings, maybe try "No Machine"
