I used to think that

ssh -X me@some.box

"just bloody worked". However this might not work - ssh must play ball on both sides of the link. On the remote (ssh server, X client) sshd must sit behind some port, tell Xlib to send X11 requests to it and then forward them back to you the X server (where the ssh client is). If the remote box is locked down to prevent this, you will get:

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

as part of an otherwise working login. As it happens, I am the admin of the remote box in question, so I followed the ArchWiki and went to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommented

Also, I would be grateful if you could give me some advice about the skills I need in order to have a career as a Quality Engineer.

I think that the most important skill a Quality Engineer (QE for short) should have is to always strive to deliver quality and never compromise on this goal. Sure, being flexible is just as important, and in order to position yourself in a place where you don't have to compromise on delivering quality, the second important skill is to always, always, do your homework and present facts (backed up with real data and numbers) about the current state of the product you're working on. Don't say things like "the product is too buggy" or "the usability is bad." Instead, focus on showing the type and number of issues you've encountered during your testing cycle or exploratory testing period. Show them numbers! Tell them instead, "our automation shows that feature X has failed Y number of tests out of a total of Z tests, which represents a percentage of P. Furthermore, since feat
