So what do I do if I want to install VSCode? The official installation guide on their website says to download the deb file, why is such a big and popular tool not in the repository right away? Or better yet, if this is the officially endorsed why how are we to figure out the proper alternative?

Git Fork is absolutely amazing. It has a good (unlimited) free trial but it is well worth the one time purchase too.

I wonder what kind of support for development do you get? Honestly I’ve only had obstacles when I switched, for example the docker installation was much more complicated on linux than on windows+wsl. Even installing python was problematic because apparently ‘upgrading it yourself can brick the system’, at least if an older version comes with the OS?

And lastly it’s the simple thing that pretty much all tools work on windows natively but on linux you have to find workarounds, which is definitely a problem when it comes to productivity.

So what are the benefits, what does linux have that windows doesn’t in this context?

I was really hoping there was something like hamachi/xfire/garena from the old days but modernized and more stable 😅 I just assumed it’d be a solved problem by now.

I’m not giving up on tailscale yet, I’ll try the funnel feature but yeah… seems a bit troublesome for sure

Thanks for linking that, seems like a great resource! Seems like there’s a few that support UDP although I’m not sure if they will work with a CGNAT setup, also their setup seems a bit more complicated and technical than expected but I need to look more into it tomorrow. If everyone else needs to have this installed then that might be an issue
