The issue I'm having is that when I run "C run/debug active file" the the code executes but doesn't stop at the breakpoints I set. I don't know a lot about how debuggers work but I'm guessing the the debugger isn't listening to the correct process? Or why would this happen?
In all honesty, I've been struggling to get all my dependencies correct and in the process may have broke intended functionality so it could be that I set up the scripts in a way that breaks it's intended use.

I reworked it and went slower this time. I don't have a launch file but
Here's tasks:
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C : g build active file",
"command": "/usr/bin/g ",
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-std=c 17",
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
"-I/usr/local/include/cairomm-1.16",
"-I/usr/local/lib/cairomm-1.16/include",
"-I/usr/include/cairo",
"-I/usr/include/glib-2.0",
"-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include",
"-I/usr/include/pixman-1",

I think there are a lot of unnecessary code in your tasks.json , try this out I am successfully able to set breakpoints during debugging .
