MSYS2-packages VS vscodium

Google says (1, 2, 3) that this issue is caused by Avast/AVG antivirus moving some executable files (bash.exe in your case, seemingly) into its quarantine folder.

It's a known issue: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/3150

Could you let me know of this is perhaps relevant to you? I will investigate sometime this week! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I am still on WSL1 due to the filesystem performance with WSL2. I recently tried to move more of my workflow towards MSYS2 but various things keep breaking for me without obvious reasons.

Latest issue I encountered was that GNU parallel simple does not work. [1]

I've already tested the rest of the tools needed for the build process (just Python 3.10 and PyInstaller) and they seem to work fine. My issue is that both MSYS2 and Cygwin do not work in WINE (this is pretty well documented: MSYS2, Cygwin), so I don't know of any other means of getting the Windows versions of GTK3 libraries in my WINE prefix so that PyInstaller can pack it all up for me.

It's old bug with gcc standard library implementation which has not been fixed, I guess most likely nobody made a bug report. I tested it myself and indeed it doesn't work properly and we are not alone: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/1937.

My last experience with MinGW-w64 was when I was trying to compile my C++ simulation code in Windows and finding out that AVX instructions were not working because the compiler had misalignment-related bugs. (The issue is still open in https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/1209)

MinGW/MSYS certainly had appeal to former Linux devs who didn't want to touch the horrors of MSVC, but Zig (with its included Clang compiler/runtime) might end up being a better solution for people trying to compile C/C++ code on Windows in a stable manner.

Well, my Ubuntu with https://vscodium.com/ is certainly much better for web development than fucking windows. I boot windows only for gaming. I detest their spyware adware OS. Furthermore, I detest "99% open source with 1% bullshit on top of it" products like Chrome and VScode. I will never use the official versions of such programs. I use Brave to use Blink/Chromium, it also has the benefit of not suffering from the v3 manifest bullshit they pulled to attack and weaken Adblockers.

WSL is cool and all, but why deal with all the quirks and issue that come with it, why lorn how it works and all the limitations ... when you can just have it all natively the way it was invented and supposed to work?

I wonder if [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/) suffers from same issues

Seems like you still lose the Python plugin and remote extensions? Missing the wsl one is pretty rough. If you’re comfortable with vim (or want to be) I can’t recommend neovim enough.

Use Codium. https://vscodium.com/

Anything Microsoft-branded will shoot you in the face sooner or later.

No matter what project you're developing on, at some point you'll give VSCode (or its open source version) a try. You can use it to develop in a dedicated dev-environment or debug integration scenarios.

Hello, and welcome to vscodium:

So Raylib library could be your best option. Let's code, just open your text editor like vim or VSCodium in your Windows, Linux or Mac computer and let's build our indie game with Raylib library, no extra dependencies are needed.

From my own experience Debian Bookworm with XFCE + VScodium is a winner on the X220.

To be fair, there is vscodium[1] which is only a few letters off vscode:
