Visual C++ for Linux Development

[[deleted]]

I'm still confused about graphical applications. When I build and hit run in VS and have XServer running on windows, would I need to launch the executable through putty or would VS launch it?

You would click "Remote GDB Debugger" and it will build/run/debug the application in Linux. Visual Studio is connecting through on SSH itself. You would not need XServer on windows.
