Visual Studio Code VS nerd-fonts

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (VS Code) are two very popular and different software development tools developed by Microsoft. Visual Studio is a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) among professional software developers while Visual Studio Code is the most popular code editor in the field of software development.

Interesting. The date at the bottom of the article shows 06/05/2024, which is this one? https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/main/docs/devc... renamed from your link in 2022.

All of this to say, I wish articles were upfront on original publication date.

Visual Studio Code Docs

I'm using Silverblue 39 for about 2 month coming from NixOS Unstable. It's working very well for me. I have some packages layered like Nvidia and fish shell and https://github.com/CheariX/silverblue-akmods-keys for AKMODS modules work with secure boot. Things like neovim, pyright, helix, starship, LSPs and CLI applications I install with brew (brew.sh). For desktop things I use Flatpak.

I had a problem with some Flatpak applications (like Steam and Discord) and brew because brew puts its folder in the $PATH before the default ones (/usr/bin ...) and those Flatpak applications tried to use SSL keys from brew instead of the system ones. I just changed the order of the $PATH to make brew bin path to be after ther system ones.

For VSCode I'm not using the Flatpak I'm using the tarball one I just extract in ~/applications and symlink the code binary in the ~/.local/bin. It's working well, I don't have problem with VSCode not executing LSPs and lint things. The only problem is VSCode from tarball cannot updates itself, so I need to download the newer version and extract to ~/applications. There is this VSCode CLI version (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=linux64cli) but I was not able to make it use the wayland backend.

Explore the official VS Code documentation on the Visual Studio Code website for in-depth guides, tutorials, and reference materials.

It's a lot, but the VS Code docs have thought about Extraneous Cognitive Load and created written guides, video guides, reference docs and more!

VSCode has a long history of not working well with Unity, so they deprecated it.

> Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

iTerm2 is a fast terminal emulator for macOS. Install one of Nerd Fonts for displaying fancy glyphs on your terminal. My current choice is Hack. And use it on your terminal app. For example, on iTerm2:

./install-font.sh https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Hack.zip

D2Coding 😹 extract and install all your font and gone to the windows terminal settings
