Hi
I’ve just seen this article, does it make sense to anyone?

Don’t like MS, but many talk of vscode’s openHAB extension to make editing easier, so I’ve installed it and will try that. Thanks for the heads-up.
Well, if using ubuntu with snap, you can use snap to install, but there is a GNU/Linux package ready to download.
In fact, as most desktops are with Windows or MacOS, it’s nice that you can use whatever OS you want
Since the OH extension, I’ve used Visual Code Studio on a Linux Mint, Kali, Ubuntu, and Puppy Lite box with no issue.
I run VSCode in Linux. I even run it on my Chromebook. My only complaint there is there isn’t a way to share the samba share where the live configs live with the Linux container running on the Chromebook. But I have everything in git so I just use push/pull to deploy my changes.
The article is just that VSCode is now available as a snap instead of a “standard” package for apt or yum. Snap is an alternative to apt. Applications that are installed as a snap are a little more isolated from other apps compared to regularly installed apps because they are installed as a container, kind of like Docker containers, and come with everything needed to run the app without relying on system libraries. This makes the apps easier to update/upgrade/install/remove without accidentally messing up other apps on the same system.
yeah, I totally use VSCode on my Debian installation, it is my editor of choice. I installed it when I installed OpenHAB using the docs maybe 6-7 months ago? Couldn’t figure out what this thread was on about.
I just never seem to get the user defined stuff to work in VSC so it’s always throwing errors about connecting to the server but it still works a treat. I have it on my Win8 laptop as well but use the one on the linux box anyhow.
