Integrating VSCode and Distrobox (lemmy.world)

Following up on a recent post on Distrobox...

For those using VSCode with Distrobox, how do you all do it? distrobox wiki suggests two approaches: flatpak + dev containers and running vscode from within distrobox.

Which do you prefer and why?

I've experimented with both and got both running with Wayland. Using the latter approach (vscode within distrobox), I couldn't quite get the running instances to be recognized by GNOME shell as the same vscode app that launched it. It shows up as code-url-handler, and doesn't share the same icon on the dash. The flatpak approach doesn't seem to have this issue.

I use VSCodium in Distrobox daily on Alpine Linux, and it works flawlessly. I don't experience the problem you encounter but I use KDE Plasma which I suppose handles it differently.

I am however looking into slowly moving over to KDE's Kate for development, my laptop really doesn't like opening multiple chrome instances for the various instances of VSCodium and then also an Android emulator on top of that.

I think part of it is my trying to use VSCode on Wayland... are you launching VSCodium with Wayland?

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.
