is free software to do that over x server protocol.
Install x server and x2x on both machines. On windows/wsl use these instructions.

On remote system, if you use gdm, edit
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf
to add:
[security] DisallowTCP=false
and restart gdm
sudo service gdm3 restart
. -
Find out on which display X server is running on remote machine.

On local machine issue below command:
# on local machine:
$ ssh -XC remoteMachine x2x -east -to :0.0
