About X410

X410 is an X-Window server for Windows 10 and later. When you want to use X-Window GUI apps on your server from Windows, simply start X410 and connect to the server via SSH with X11 forwarding; your GUI apps are automatically forwarded to Windows as you launch them. X410 also works flawlessly with your locally installed virtual machines and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as well as Docker containers.
