vscode-org-mode VS wslg

LOL. I use Emacs for note-taking, spreadsheets, calculations, to-do lists, calendaring, email, static site generation and more. Please show me VS Code extensions that have feature sets comparable to those of Emacs packages like Org, mu4e, calc, etc. Here, I'll save you some time by eliminating a couple options:

- VS Code Org Mode[1] has maybe 2% of the features of Org for Emacs.

- The only VS Code-based mail client I've ever found is VSCode Mail Client[1], which was developed during a single month and then abandoned.

VS Code is clearly for normies who use WYSIWYG word processors, webmail, etc. Suggesting that VS Code has surpassed Emacs for non-coding activities is laughable.

Org mode for VSCode has a minimal set of features: Todo lists in the most basic form, no calendar, no agenda, no flexibility Org mode (as a part of Emacs) provides. I recommend skimming through https://github.com/vscode-org-mode/vscode-org-mode/wiki (very short) and then https://orgmode.org/manual/

Apologies, should have said I use an extension for org-mode:

WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.

For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

This is running in WSL?

Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

That said. Graphical apps will just run on WSL without needing to install anything. Check: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

What are you talking about? Its free forever https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Actually, you can https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

See: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/563 and other similar issues on wslg GitHub.

Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019
