Yeah docker won't get you GUI software like QT Creator to use those on my mac (when I had a mac) I used a regular virutal box vm with a full xubuntu install.

check out https://hub.docker.com/r/zachdeibert/qt-creator/

desktop apps in docker are just a matter of mounting relevant drivers and files in the container

Okay. So basically this guy uses docker to set up a X11 server with qt creator and other development environment in a server. Meaning while, the user can use a local X11 client to connect to the X11 server which do the real computing.

But this highly depends on the quality of Internet. Every PC can do it with a X11 client.

This is a good try, but not very practical.
