Hello,

I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my work laptop and I’ve been running and loving it since.

However, I am used to VsCode, so this is what I am using in Ubuntu as well.

So I am curious, what kind of coding so you do? And what is your workflow.

I am an embedded firware developper and mainly use C. I am cross compiling my code in VsCode for a FPGA from Xilinx (dual core arm + PL)

Never dove into make files and cmake more than what I needed in the past, but I had an opportunity to learn CMake and build a project from it.

So my workflow is :

  1. Code in VsCode
  2. Build in CMake
  3. Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
  4. Use gdb server to debug the code.

It’s a pretty simple workflow, but I’d like to know what you guys are running so that I can maybe upgrade my workflow.

    • Code in VSCodium
    • Code in Kate to keep thing fresh
    • Code in Nvim because I still need to learn it
    • Cry while debbuging a React app because the error messages aren’t very good
    • Wish I were working with Svelte or had enough backend experience to switch to being a backend dev
    • Play with terminal configs and shell scripting to distract myself from my woes
    • Rinse and repeat.

    Aside from the (not so much) jokes, give VSCodium a try, it’s to VSCode what Chromium is to Chrome, and works just as well.

      I will look into VSCodium. I’ve heard a little about it, but I couldn’t tell you what is the difference between the two.

        Microsoft develops vscode as open source, but compiles it with proprietary telemetry tooling.

        VSCodium compiles from the same source code but without the telemetry

            They are, but some might not be available from the extension store. Usually copying from vscode extensions folder works with no issues in my experience, but search the Codium store first just in case.
