Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode

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

Because the hate is based on their shitty OS. They did a fairly good job with VSCode. Our hate isn't blind.

VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it's filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there's DRM on your python LSP.

Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren't any that are as easy to set up.

I think, I should switch to Codium for personal projects. Let's hope there is a binary package on Gentoo.

No, I don't. I saw it on Flathub; will install it from there.

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
