Install Linux and be done with the Microsoft bullshit. No windows, no copilot, no shit teams, no outlook, nothing of the nonsense, just software that actually works

My eternal quest to get a working desktop environment running in WSL 😭

I'm a developer, and I can't just skip Windows support, also the "GUI" for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can't just jank my way out with printf() from various issues.

Is the second point supposed to be a negative rather than an implementation detail?

Anyway, vscode would probably work for you. Or try clion. Like VS, but with decent cmake support, clang integration, better auto complete, simpler tool chain management, faster index, no daily crash/hanging, better git/lab integration, cross platform support... Actually never mind, there is indeed nothing like VS IDE wise. Whatever that means

I personally use RemedyBG + Kate + langservers (I might even make my own), which is actually better than VS.
