Xsrv is an X server that allows applications to run in graphical mode on a remote machine. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Xsrv on your Fedora Server Latest operating system in just a few easy steps.
You will need a server with Fedora Server Latest operating system installed and internet connectivity.

After installing Xsrv, you need to configure it before you can use it. Open the terminal window and run the following command to create a configuration file for Xsrv:
