@NiLSPACE Yeah, after signing in using the stupid MS account, VS decided to work again. Still, I don't feel comfortable with software-as-a-service.
@PureTryOut I had used X11 + SSH forwarding for a while, but it is quite data-intensive. I've got a 5Mbps upload on my home connection and that wasn't enough to comfortably work with that, it would take a second between a keypress and displaying the letter in QtCreator. It actually worked much better when I used RDP to connect to my Windows machine (over the 5Mbps link), and forward the X11 connection onto that machine (over home LAN, 100Mbps).
I suppose VNC could work better, but there's a bit of confusion about what's free, what's opensource and what's commercial with VNC servers and clients. Perhaps Wayland could be an improvement, when it is fully supported; I don't have enough info to actually set it up.
