If they plan on doing that they should do to hardware what they did to their software. Have a single set of fixed hardware so you only need to test it once for the commercial part of Proton. What they did with Steam Machines was pure madness but maybe they see something I don't.
I know that there are multiple runtimes by now but you get the idea.
It's painful to see how much disinformation (even in subtle ways or to go off the rails) some topics are getting in here.
If you want to get a better picture, also about Zfs and Fedora, read the previous Btrfs threads where the developers took the time to discuss it. And to kill some FUD.
I have no association with Btrfs or Fedora but I'd like to have a modern FS in-tree as battle tested as it can be.
It goes deeper. Last time I checked I found previous uploads or deleted images in two different Picasa interfaces, one had YouTube and profile related images, even wallpapers from Gmail. The other had some of my Google Photos. I don't have an account to confirm but it's probably still there.
Wow, meanwhile Google lost all my vacation photos back in 2014 or so. It was a painful lesson, but I'm glad that all I lost was one vacation's worth of pictures, haha. Never trust a cloud
That's the default response you get from MS "inclined" people, I've seen it everywhere. I had to stop visiting the Windows 10 reddit because it's so tiring. And there's also the anti-floss comments. I truly believe they are not paid by MS and aren't paid shills, they are just people that obsess over brand wars because they are bored, or have a lot of investiment in MS related tech (time, money, career) and feel like they need to preserve that, or in some cases it's just severe mental health issues. If you think it's hyperbole you need to lurk there a few weeks and see it for yourself. I'm talking with technical merits aside, because there are a lot of MS technologies I would love to use if things were different. But I just don't trust them, just like I would never install e.g. a Google Drive native client in my Linux machine.
The EEE debates are very boring and I understand it can feel like MS is being singled out but they deserve all of it. I often wish MS rises to the top again just so newer generations can experience first hand what that feels like. But now that Google and other companies perfected the boiling techniques I'm not sure it would be noticed.
I wish we could all stop fighting each other over these issues and just collectively bashed and scrutinized ALL the companies together, everyone would benefit. But that's easy to say, I can't even read about MS or Google without getting irrationally mad.
Trying to turn vscode into an IDE is awful in my opinion. You have to use a lot of third-party extensions that not so rarely goes unmaintained or are security issues waiting to happen. It's the same agony I get from languages without a solid stdlib. And if you're really going to use MS tools you're better of with vscodium or whatever people are using these days that remove the "extra" features.
I don't know what constitutes an IDE. All I expect is syntax highlighting and fast code navigation that understands enough of the source language to mostly find what I mean.
Other than that merely saving a file should be enough to hot-reload whatever toolchain you're using and doesn't much depend on editor integration.
Can I ask which languages you work with? Working with python and HTML/CSS/JS I find that VSCode works almost perfectly out of the box and the few extensions you have to install are well maintained. But for more niche languages I could see there being an issue.
Like most of the mainstream ones at least on a basic level, some niche, I work for multiple companies. My last attempt was over a year ago when I tried the LSP people were raving about here. Once I started digging it was very ugly. It's not only basic support but each language has a lot of extra integration you can take for granted when using an IDE (not naming what I use to avoid brand wars). For vscode that becomes an extra package you have to consciously know it's there.
E.g. I get pissed off when basic features like toggling comments for markup/data interchange/build files doesn't work or produce the wrong format. With an IDE once the feature is implemented it's usually forever and you don't have to think about it again. With third-party packages it's the wild west.
Yes a lot of people don't have this issue and love vscode, but not me. I consider "third-party" extensions a huge liability.
