1) using KDE and saying this is for developers is a little strange for me considering VS Code has issues with Kdewallet 6. Has this distro done anything about that?

2) Including homebrew in a Linux distro is a criminal offense normally punished by public flogging.

What issues does vscode have? I haven't noticed anything, although my vscode usage is pretty minimal.

Homebrew is great and we will be using it a lot more in the future.

Homebrew is three racoons in a trenchcoat pretending to be a packaging system. It is also a supply chain disaster waiting to happen.

And the raccoons have rabies and one identifies as a possum.

VS Code official docs explain the incompatibility between kdewallltd6 and vs code.

It's just about installing `gnome-keyring` if you're running VS Code on KDE, right?

what? these threads are always so full of one single anecdotal experience being projected as a global/universal gotcha

It's literally in the VS Code official docs.

Maybe try research instead of reactionary comments.

Sorry, RAM is too expensive these days to run two instances of Chrome on the same system. Maybe the time has come for some VC-backed startup to start a rent-seeking business for streaming your development environment from the cloud?

I know there were attempts for this before but they were just banking on the fact that the average dev env is an absurd collection of hacked together tools that is both fragile and nigh impossible to set up for new devs. Now they have a financial angle as well /s

https://github.dev It's already here, GitHub isn't the only ones.

Real developers don’t use a graphical desktop /s

Real developers use whatever the fuck they want as long as it gets the job done.

Note the “/s”.

That only works on reddit, this is aiming to be a place for insightful comments and fruitful discussion
