I don't really know if you can call running a remote vs code setup on localhost as opposite anecdata. Isn't that just more of the same bullshit hoop jumping?

Everytime I hear about how great someone's wsl setup is I roll my eyes because it inevitably involves some rediculously convoluted wrangling to the nth level for something that is relatively basic on native Linux.
And these people rarely have an excuse for why they prefer windows over say fedora which has been a better than windows windows experience since windows 8.
Edit, wow even this thread people are suggesting the most drastic of things, let's run an entirely separate hard drive, oh but you need to fiddle with startup scripts because it couldn't be automatic.
- aksss 6y ago>> convoluted wrangling With good humor, his describes my experience with Linux distros since I first started using them. Doing just about anything seems to require some convoluted wrangling. :)
- madeofpalk 6y ago> Isn't that just more of the same bullshit hoop jumping? But it’s not jumping through hoops? I just either run `code .` (like I did on macOS) or select recent folder from within VS Code. It all just works fairly well, identical to ‘natively’ within Windows (except the occasional ts slowdown I mentioned before). > And these people rarely have an excuse for why they prefer windows Not that anyone needs an ‘excuse’ for their personal preference, but I would actually prefer macOS. But I got a Windows PC to use software that only runs on Windows (games) and then the whole wfh thing happened and here we are. I’m not interested in rebooting between different operating systems when I switch tasks, especially when they overlap (developing for games). Convince Bungie to port their game to macOS and I’ll buy a Mac Pro to be back home on a Mac full time :)
- eyelidlessness 6y ago> Not that anyone needs an ‘excuse’ for their personal preference No kidding. But on this site I’ve been lectured about the “consequences” of my personal preferences (when they in no way make alternatives less viable) and told my conscious tradeoffs are actually ignorant of the things I’m trading off even after I explicitly stated them. Tech communities love to talk about choice and freedom and love to try to Jedi mind trick people out of it in the same breath.
