I typically use Windows with ssh -X to access Linux machines so I can avoid dual boot. If I need to run remote applications with X windows, I run VcXsrv (REF) on windows as the X11 server. This typically works except programs that needs OpenGL. If software-based rendering is affordable, my workaround is as follows:

• On the local windows: Run VcXsrc without native OpenGL supports.
• ssh to the the remote Linux:
• Make sure that libgl1-mesa-dev is installed.
• NOTE: If the nvidia driver is install via .run, it might override libgl1-mesa-dev.
  
• To verify, run the following to see whether it is using libGL under mesa or not:
  $ ldd $(which glxinfo) | grep libGL
• If not, the symlink of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa might be broken. In such a case, re-installation of libgl1-mesa-devis needed.
• Setup env. var. to use mesa's libGL.so:
  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
• To confirm, run glxinfo again to see whether direct rendering is Yes:
  $ glxinfo | grep -i direct
