Probably not relevant since you have the answer already but this thread just reminded me of the days of working with point of sales systems and using x11vnc. I still remember the command.

ssh user@ipaddress/hostname -L5900:localhost:5901 -AXY
x11vnc -rfbport 5901 -display :0 &>/dev/null &
vncviewer localhost:5900

5900 and 5901 could have been the same number but I just figured I'd highlight what numbers need to be the same and which ones could be different. Nowadays I work with headless servers so vnc is of no use to me other than connecting to my personal computer. If you're interested in learning linux for career purposes I would recommend reading man pages. I know nobody wants to read the manual but they can provide valuable information and you can learn how to do a lot things without ever having to search the internet.
