Gave it a try attempting to run firefox, figuring it would be easier to configure the way I want if I can do it from my PC instead of poking at the phone screen. So I followed configuration #4 on the web page referenced for "SSH Client on Xorg and SSH host on wayland". Here is the command line used from my desktop linux system:
On my first try I got an error saying that .Xauthority did not exist. So I found directions here on how to create it:

After doing this firefox runs (I can see it running via "ps" on the Pinephone) but it does not display on my desktop PC, or locally on the Pinephone, the browser seems to be just displaying into the bit bucket. Also tried running evince with the same result. I checked and X11Forwarding is enabled in sshd_config on the Pinephone. Is there something else that needs to be installed or configured?
