Friendly reminder that VSCodium exists, and nobody should be using Microslop’s spyware version anyway.
Arent a lot of extensions incompatible by design? Some closed part of vscode needed for full functionality.
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
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
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.
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.
Friendly reminder that Kate has nothing to do with Microsoft at all.
Team Jetbrains!
It’s a snap problem, not actually a VS Code issue. Just another reason why snap is bad.
I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system… Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.
So you’re saying it’s Canonical spyware?
Well he’s saying snaps are thrash.
So basically you’re telling the snap app to put something in the trash, and snap says “it always has been. Nothing to do here”
No, he’s saying that canonical’s snap sucks
I can’t really tell if you’re joking or not but no, I’m saying that it’s a bug, and at no point anything is sent off your computer
Just generally piling on that snaps suck.
Funny how it’s only a problem when using the Snap distribution.
The flatpack version is slow and crashy AF.
My favorite fun fact about VSCode is it stores all its cache files in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME.Yay, it uses the XDG dirs… Wait, no, not like that.
Microsoft managing to make even their Linux software not achieve basic functions like…deleting files.
Wha??? A Microsoft product!!! Nooooo… c’mon
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 🙂
