How do I know if X11 is working Linux?

I am not sure if its just me but it seems ridiculous that the only way to check if X11 is working is by running MATLAB. There must be a better way to check this. Run the command: xeyes . xeyes , xclock , oclock , xcalc , xgc , xedit , xlogo , xman are pretty standard X11 applications.

What is X11 in Linux?

The X Window System (also known as X11, or simply X) is a client/server windowing system for bitmap displays. It is implemented on most UNIX-like operating systems and has been ported to many other systems.

Filter the output of the xdpyinfo command

xdpyinfo | grep version

will output something like

version number:    11.0
