Where is the Linux Console Output When Using Remote Debug with Visual Studio 2017?

My Visual Studio 2017 (VS2017) connects to the Linux system successfully with the following code:

#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    printf("hello from ConsoleApplication1!\n");
    return 0;
}

But, when the code executes, I can't see the "hello from ConsoleApplication1!" message in the VS2017 output window. Where can I find it?

For those who don't find "Linux Console" under Debug menu:

What happen to me was that I had one solution with 2 projects- Console App (Windows) and Linux Console App. The Windows was set as the start up project, and I debugged the Linux project by right-clicking the project->Debug->Start New Instance. I couldn't find the Linux Condole Window anywhere even when debugging.

After setting the Linux project as the startup project it appeared in the Debug menu:

Afterwards I changed it back and kept the Linux Console Window Open. It's an ugly hack and I hope that Visual Studio will change it (I'm using VS 2019 16.1.3)
