| Someone pinch me when VisualStudio runs under Wine/Proton with at least a silver rating. It is quite literally the only app keeping me on Windows. |

| Out of interest, what do you need visual studio for that you cant get on linux? |
| |
| ▲ | snarfy a day ago | parent [-] | | Of course, there are always alternatives, but as a professional software engineer there are times I need to use genuine Visual Studio for one reason or another. Why use Photoshop when Gimp is available? Fusion360 when there is FreeCAD? etc. |

| ▲ | umanwizard a day ago | parent [-] | | VS Code and Visual Studio have about as much in common as JavaScript and Java. | | |
| ▲ | erikerikson a day ago | parent [-] | | I have to admit it's been a bit but when I first made the transition after a couple years using JetBrains, everything I actually used in Visual Studio was in VsCode. I should also admit that a big part of Microsoft strategy from as far back as 2003 was to make things "easy" in a non-translatable way which kept people locked into Visual Studio. Having traversed this divide, I see it now as something akin to different languages for the same concepts. Not unlike learning further programming languages after your first. |
