I'm still trying to wrap my head around this concept.

Any good links would be really great if you've got them.

Thanks.
x forwarding allows you to run graphical applications from remote system (your tablet) on your Desktop. It runs the program on the remote system, but the graphical window opens on local PC.

If you are using Linux desktop, it is available native.

If you are using Windows, then you need Xming or similar program.
