    Well, my workplace insists I use Windows… but I wouldn’t touch that to gaming, getting annoyed defeats the point.

    I have been doing something similar for my C Programming class. I have a win10 VM running VS Code Community ( what we’re using ) on my laptop and I don’t use the VM for anything else.

    I would use something like VS Codium, but I wasn’t able to set it up just right and couldn’t get the correct extension my instructor uses ( that default C/C++ pack from macrohard themselves ) working. Plus, it makes following along so much easier when I have as close to the same set-up as my instructor does, IDE wise.

      Huh, my favourite part of using C and C++ was the ease of doing it all on Linux. Didn’t even need to install a compiler, just write code, run compile and laugh my way through endless segfaults because I am very bad at those languages

    This is unironically true. I am forced to use c# on visual studio at work. To run apps in containers, or rather i write linux apps on windows

    But linux on my machine at work? “MOST UNORTHODOX!!!”.

    I actually do that, but only because I’m forced to use Visual Studio. I have it installed in a VM with no network access because I don’t trust it.
