I have a Windows 10 PC (WinPC) connected directly to a Raspberry Pi (RPi) via Ethernet LAN. How can I connect to the RPi with an X11-enabled SSH session using Visual Studio Code?

In the following screenshot, you can see my Visual Studio Code on the WinPC, where I am already connected via Remote-SSH to the RPi. What should I type to check if X11 forwarding works?

By default Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm DOES NOT use X11 but Wayfire (although X is used on older devices with insufficient memory but you can configure it to use X). raspi-config can show/change what is used.

The following script shows network system (but not protocol).

#! /bin/sh
# Check status of networking
checkactive () {
if [ $(systemctl is-active $1) = 'active' ]; then
    echo $1 'active'
fi
}
checkactive 'systemd-networkd'
checkactive 'dhcpcd'
checkactive 'NetworkManager'
checkactive 'wpa_supplicant'

echo
echo "Network devices"
ls /sys/class/net/

ps -e | grep X should show if X active.
