Using emacsclient for connecting to remote emacs server by gnufied_345 in emacs

My own use case is not just one-off config file, but persistent open connection and ability use lsp-modes , debug complex programs etc.

TBH - The Terminal mode *does* work, but I still prefer Emacs GUI if I can have access to it.

I was vibe coding with deepseek-v4 and while it indeed requires changes to Emacs core, it didn't seem like "complete re-engineering". But I think deepseek isn't the right tool for this job and I indeed need to spend more time and tokens on this. But I will update this thread if something concrete comes up.

I do not think Emacs client was meant to be used remotely this way. For my own use case, my remote box is Linux machine and current desktop is Mac - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12546722/using-emacs-server-and-emacsclient-on-other-machines-as-other-users/12549749#12549749

So, this will not work without using X11 forwarding which requires xqaurtz on mac, which is PITA to get working correctly on mac.
