From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not being able to see the source code of extensions, and having them loaded and executing remotely really ought to be a non-starter, but for some reason we find ourselves ok with this?
Maybe there are checks and balances? I really don't know - but I certainly don't know what they are.
I'm actively exploring alternative cross-platform editors for this and other vscode usability reasons.
Find anything? I hear Nova is okay but it’s Mac only.
Sublimetext technically fits the bill for this I think, but its feeling a bit long in the tooth.
I actually like sublime but the lack of virtual space for block selection (for a paid editor) moved out way down the list for me.
The plugins feel a bit janky and sparse too.l and the ecosystem feels a bit deserted.
