You can try [SixelTerm.jl](https://github.com/eschnett/SixelTerm.jl), like [here.](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-and-x11-forwarding/91975/8)

Another idea that I don’t know if will work. You can do `CairoMakie.Makie.inline!(false)`, plot something and see if it launches an image viewer. I read about it [here](https://bkamins.github.io/julialang/2023/04/21/aog.html)
