From my research, I found that Visual Studio can connect to a remote Linux machine, but this functionality is limited to debugging only. Developers currently need to copy their code to their local machine for editing and then transfer it back to the remote machine for building and debugging. This process differs significantly from Visual Studio Code, which allows developers to connect directly via SSH, enabling them to edit and debug code on remote machines without the need for local copies.

Here are some references for the same:

1. Reddit post discussing Visual Studio's limitations
2. Visual Studio documentation

It seems that Visual Studio does not currently have plans to support remote development in the same seamless way that Visual Studio Code does. But if we some how try to achieve the functionality by copying from remote to local and then local to remote, it will be a tedious procedure.

@unsuman thanks for the R&D. Based on your comment I'll close this issue as not planned for now and we can revisit it if that changes.
