Friendly reminder that VSCodium exists, and nobody should be using Microslop’s spyware version anyway.
VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?
The only
differencedownside really is the occasional extension that needs a manual install.I’ve been trying out VSIX Manager for my extensions so that I can keep track of which ones I want to install on each machine. This can make it easier to install the weird extensions that you can’t install otherwise
Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641
Yeah, they really added DRM.
The only difference really is the occasional extension that needs a manual install.
Well, that and the lack of telemetry and “phoning home” to Redmond. And that’s a big one.
Whoops, I meant to say “only downside”. Edited it
There are lots of positive differences
Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.
I’ve been using sed recently to edit my lines. Quite cumbersome but it gets the work done.
Oh nice, I didn’t know, thank you!
Friendly reminder that Kate has nothing to do with Microsoft at all.
I tried open vss I think it’s called on arch and I have trouble using it to remotely access configs on my home server via the SSH extension. I got fed up with it and installed the MS version from yay. I resent it but it works.
I think the open version might not have the ms extension store configured. There should be a separate AUR package for that. At least there is for VSCodium. Alternately you can just grab the VSIX for the extensions you want from the MS version and install them on the open one. Personally I don’t know what open vss is so I use codium.
I got it working on vscodium, i’ll try using that. thanks!
Awesome, great to hear that!
Team Jetbrains!
Arent a lot of extensions incompatible by design? Some closed part of vscode needed for full functionality.
It’s a snap problem, not actually a VS Code issue. Just another reason why snap is bad.
Funny how it’s only a problem when using the Snap distribution.
The flatpack version is slow and crashy AF.
Can’t we just go back to native installs?
Microsoft managing to make even their Linux software not achieve basic functions like…deleting files.
It’s a snaps issue. Guessing you didn’t read past the headline.
If you are on Linux, use a real editor like Vim or Emacs and not… THAT
Help, how do I get out!!!
/s
There IS no leaving. If you are IN, you STAY IN.
Helix, baby
I have tried it… its not bad
I’m glad you gave it a go 🙂
