Description

Creates a virtual X11 display without showing it on a physical monitor. It is useful for automated tests, build servers, screenshots, and older GUI programs that require an X display even when running in a headless environment.

It is not a desktop for everyday use. Applications launched inside it can still read and write files as the same user, so combine it with proper test isolation when running untrusted software.

How to run
