Nowadays it's pretty straight forward. Just run `sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic`, install plugins for fsharp for vscode and you're good to go.

Worth noting that snap installs aren't supported in the vscode tooling for F#. There's an open issue and I have a handle on some of the core problems, but they invalidate a ton of assumptions we have.

The safer route is to install the non-snap-based versions.

(I maintain this tooling, for what it's worth)

Can you link to the open issue? I want to subscribe to it.

Thanks for working on this tooling. Your efforts are much appreciated.

What's the --classic flag for? Just curious

Classic confinement (no sandboxing) because an IDE needs to access tons of stuff from your system (the compilers, your projects, etc).

Ah, thank you!
