I've honestly most ever only built Windows software from Makefiles and the like. So basically ports of Linux stuff. And then I just edit with vi or whatever.
Some video game mods have come as VS projects, and I open them on Windows, but I ended up editing the xml manually anyways to make the build-test-debug cycle work.
Visual Studio project files and solutions are easy and work great, until they don't. Everyone I know that develops on Windows eventually has to go and tweak those xml files when something automagical did the auto part but not the magic part.
Visual Studio Code is not Visual Studio. It's not bad;
I disagree but that's because I'm an opinionated motherfucker who's tired of having idiot sysadmins tell me that Powershell ISE is deprecated as if that means it isn't still the superior environment in which to write my code when VSCode keeps sperging out on me every time I try to use it whereas ISE has always just fucking worked without requiring any coaxing or configuration.
And yes I am stubborn and mad enough about this that I have managed to make Powershell 7 work with ISE because goddammit it's my preferred environment but that doesn't even matter because Powershell 5 does everything I need.
Visual Studio is nice though. I need to get back to brushing up on my C# one of these days so I can make the jump to more dev focused work.
Can be installed in about 30 seconds with something like flatpak too. Linux has the wrong reputation for easy install of software. I find it much better myself for the majority of things. I can update 95% of what's installed on Linux the same way. It's not a bunch of bullshit like Windows where I have the "java updater" and the "adobe updater" and all trying to constantly run. Two commands to run my dnf and flatpak upgrades every so often, whenever I feel like it, without being compulsory, and I'm done.
I still like actual Visual Studio at times, but low level programming and web projects work great in VS Code.
The "but my sound drivers" schtick is just half-remembered sneery nerd shit from 20 years ago at this point, anybody who goes into the routine now has absolutely no idea what they're talking about but wants you to think they do.
but low level programming and web projects work great in VS Code.
I suspect we have different definitions of "low level programming" since "low level programming" and "web projects" by my definitions would put them on almost the exact opposite ends of the spectrum, and for the former, VS Code is inadequate.
Visual Studio Code has been officially available on Linux for years.
Visual Studio Code is not Visual Studio. It's not bad; I use it almost daily for non-C++ projects, but it's not Visual Studio.
Yep. Visual Studio has way more functionality than VSC can provide. Nearest Visual Studio replacement would be jetbrains Rider
