Visual Studio Code VS swot

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.

I have mentioned this in other reddit posts, we use SWOT by JetBrains to make sure the .edu email being used is valid. We also do not accept applications from domains that have been blacklisted by them for fraud. You can find this list here.

No problem, just apply with an official document here. Also, doesn't need to be a US high school. I can tons of accepted high school domains from other countries in their GitHub repo, for example this random middle/high school from Germany.

JetBrains, as far as I'm aware, just checks the domain of your email against this repository, sends you a verification email to make sure the address is actually real and belongs to you, and doesn't ask any questions behind that. You can do this over and over in perpetuity, even if you're a staff or faculty member rather than a student.

Or some text files on github

https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains check if your email domain is listed here. Then it also works. (Or just register as Student License and wait if it works)

Actually I found a archive in here that list all the academic domains https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains

JetBrains uses this open library to verify email addresses for its own student licenses. I guess that means it's free and somewhat battle-tested.
