I've been tasked with getting a GUI Debugger working for project being developed for Ubuntu 16.04 server in C++ 11.0 with BOOST.
I've got the app building and running on 'headless' Ubuntu 16.04 servers. My boss is a windows user and wants me to set the build so that he can connect via his windows computer, and use Visual Studio Code on the server to debug the program. I think he put it like this: "just setup X11 or some XWindows server so my box can code/debug the app."
I've gotten an x11 service up and running, and loaded up firefox in this environment, but it was painfully slow. Basically followed:

Is this possible? I desperately need suggestions, and no he doesn't want to use an Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop like I'm doing.
