Ok, steam is not the main driver anymore and I'm very happy to see Proton envolved into such a great help to play on Linux. Yet we're all developers and some still need visual studio from Microsoft. Did anyone managed to get that thing running on linux? I would switch to linux immediately if I could have that thing working without performance issues.

I use VScode every day on linux and have never had an issue with it.

I've been using the forked VSCodium on Linux without any issues, and I'm pretty sure regular VSCode is available from package managers. Or you mean the separate Visual Studio software? (I don't even know what that software is...)

  Sure, VSCode is awesome for almost everything to code and I use it every day, yet dotnet development, especially for winforms (no support at all), debugging, testing and decompile nuget DLLs (just not possible atm) is horrible. Beside that, for many things you have to tackle problems different because vscode start apps of various kinds (azure functions, maui, ...) not as visual studio. Visual Studio with Resharper could be "replaced" with Jetbrains Rider but they are sometimes behind Microsofts development cycle and also have the windows dependency for certain features (maui, winforms, ..). I guess it would be ok to have a windows VM with visual studio to code eg. Winforms and run everything else with vscode/rider? I use visual studio since 22 years and I really like it. Maybe I could ger used to use vscode/rider and live with workarounds?

    Sorry, I basically don't understand anything in your first paragraph, so I'll take your word for it. If I absolutely needed a non-Linux OS for some work, now that Proton has freed gaming, I'd probably get a MacBook before a Windows machine these days. But if I had to support Windows, a Windows VM could also be an option. I'd need a lot on the line for me to considering installing a Windows partition ever again.

    If you’re doing winforms work, you’re probably going to want/need Windows if for no other reason to run whatever it is you’re building. I’d personally use a VM in that scenario.
