From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like messing around with my system, using foss software and all, but when it comes to programming, I just want it to work without me having to do extra steps... VSCode works without too many extra steps and it doesn't require a masters in vim to use... I can live with microsoft knowing that I'm learning html and C#
I don't know why but I have some psychotic subconscious desire to constantly break my system, including bits that I really need
Usually only break one device at a time though so I've always got a fallback
Only machine I've never broken is my PC at work because I would absolutely get chewed out for that lol
I'm in the same boat. Tried codium, for 5 minutes, but left as soon as noticed the settings sync wasn't as straightforwardas in vscode.
