I use it a lot. It's really nice having one environment if you use different dev machines from time to time (in my case a PC and a laptop), develop on the target OS (I don't have Linux installed on all my computers but only develop in Linux), the cost is negligible and performance pretty much like a local vscode.
Not being able to code without internet is the only disadvantage but I usually don't do that anyway.
- ramon 6y agoWhat about using WSL2?
- dx034 6y agoDoesn't solve the problem of multiple machines for me. I started using code-server before WSL2 came out. given the low cost, I don't see why I should switch to WSL2 locally now.
- ramon 6y agoYou can have multiple OSs running on WSL2, so for example have a Ubuntu 20.04 and a SUSE or Kali.. and you can have one workspace for each OS it will connect to the different OSs ctrl+r on VSCode you can change the workspace and therefore connect to the different OS under WSL2.
- dx034 6y agoI was referring to the opposite, having multiple physical machines to develop. Using Code Server means I don't have to sync between machines.
- xupybd 6y agoSounds like a solid use case. Is lag an issue?
- dx034 6y agoNo it isn't. I have it on a machine about 5ms away, never experience lag.
