IMHO it's a very viable request to run standard GUI applications on a headless device.

You can do a Framebuffer device that just manages a memory array without display hardware.

Now you should be able to access the graphic output (and virtual Keyboard and Mouse devices) via VNC or (maybe even better NX). I do hope this is supported by Nano-X, as a full X solution would need a lot more resources.

Using a remote X server often is not a good idea as the said GUI program should be able to start and run automatically in an embedded device and the GUI and a remote "head" would only attached when you want to do some kind of manual service.

I myself face this issue when porting embedded projects from a PC based solution to a more deeply embedded controller.
