From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

Aren't those features just telemtry and the plugin store (for which there is an open source replacement btw)

Live share, remoting (running over ssh or other) and settings sync are both absent from codium, they're the ones I know of

Lack of SSH would be a deal breaker for me.

You can obviously SSH from the terminal but unless you use some external solution you can't open folders on remote machines in the ide

Can't you just install a plugin for ssh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think so, it runs a client and a server version of VS code so all extensions, settings, debug config etc work on the target machine as if native.

Seems like a core feature a plugin wouldn't be able to implement properly

Obviously you can run ssh in the terminal or you could network mount the filesystem somehow but it'll be way jankier

Someone on Reddit said that this plugin works apparently. Can't test it myself rn tho.

The moment remote development works with vscodium, I'm going to switch. For now, the FOSS alternative is running code-server on the remote machine, then do ssh port forwarding (or access it via tailscale/zerotier) to access it from a remote machine.

There's also some issue with good VSCode when using C# & .NET
