Beginners • Re: SSH to Raspberry Pi Zero W

under SSH set X11 forwarding to 'Enable X11 forwarding'
You shouldn't really do that unless you're actually going to use it. It is not needed for pure command line stuff nor is it needed for VNC.

It's only needed if you want to start an X application on the Pi (e.g. Thonny) and have it displayed on the screen of another computer without using VNC. Even then you need a X server running on that computer.

That said, I do it all the time as my Pi are headless and boot to commandline (and I have cygwinX running on my Windows PC). There are definitely advantages over VNC but it isn't for everyone.
