Quoting: BoldosCan you please elaborate on how far is it? (with some - at least generic - examples...)

Visual Studio Code is basically an editor with loads of plugins (which as far as I know come from lots of different sources). The base as well as the plugins I tried the last months were getting frequent updates, some stable, some not so much. In my humble opinion, the plugins (ab)using parts of the interface make its usage incoherent. It's a quick and dirty tool for hacking something together. Again, IMHO.

Visual Studio is a professional software development environment. Its not without flaws, of course, but it is the stable tool I need for big team projects. And it would be my tool of preference for C++ programming under Linux, if it would let me.

I'm probably biased. I prefer the stable stuff, and I'm using (and getting used to) Visual Studio for at least 20 years now.

Quoting: Mountain ManLinux software has never been that hard to install. I mean:

./configure
make
make install

This isn't rocket science. The problem is that people seem to have an irrational fear of the command line.

While there's different reasons people don't want to do that, there's at least (!) one very good one: People should refrain from doing stuff in the command line they don't understand. And no, most people don't know, don't care and shouldn't need to care about 'compiling'.

Visual Studio Code is very far from Visual Studio.

Quoting: SalvatosAn acquaintance recently told me he had removed all the privacy-violating crap from his Windows 10 laptop, to which I quipped "well, what you know about at least."

German authorities found that Microsoft is not able to provide them a Windows 10 version (not even a special one!) that is not sending home encrypted data without a real explanation. Which makes its use illegal (edit: for them) in theory.

Quoting: soulsourceYep, exactly that. The atmosphere is perfect. Only thing: It needs time to relax, the game is quite slow.

And off to wish list you go!
I mean... the game, of course. :)

Quoting: soulsourceI've played the demo at Gamescom.

Did it create a good atmosphere for you? From looks and description, it reminds me of Oxenfree, a game I don't remember for great game mechanics either, but did like...
