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.

Microsoft starts to improve VS code for Unity good news for Unity 3D on Linux (devblogs.microsoft.com)

This has happened after leaving VS code almost unusable for some years since debugging wasn't working on Unity 3D. I was able to use an old version of VS code omnisharp that would allow me to debug Unity on my Linux desktop. Do you think there is some EEE agenda in this decision? Or this is good news?

If MS were on the pulse, they'd see Godot is the future and would be working on that.

It was also a problem with windows. I was trying to get it to work with Linux and couldn’t so I moved to windows. I still couldn’t get it to work so I just gave up. Yes, I installed .net and tried other things.

There is a version of omnisharp Vs code extension C#, 1.23.16 that would allow you to debug took me a while to find out. But now there is no need for that even

Yeah, I used unity for a jam about a month ago, it took me about 4 hours to get VSCode working. In the end it was as simple as rolling the C# plugin back a few versions, but boy did it take me a long time to figure that out.

Unity users should be switching to Godot

[–] bikesarethefuture 2 points 1 year ago

I love Godot, but migrating a project made many years ago it is tricky. Got your point though. Godot is only gonna grow from now on exponentially
