Every piece of code is bad in the eyes of a pedantic coder. I consider myself pedantic, when ever I clone something from GitHub the very first thing I do is fixing bad formatting, syntax errors, build errors or what ever other stuff that I don't like. The code might be functional and quality...

I'm having same problem with this site pretty often, bad gateway error. Sometimes the error is stuck on cloudflare sometimes on host (linux.org).

All extensions work on Linux just fine, at least all of those which I use work on Linux, I heavily use extensions and they all work. Reason they work is because they're written in TypeScript which is the language of VSCode extensions API, so there is no platform specific code. Those extensions...

lol no! VSCode is cross platform, there is Linux variant as well: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

For pleasant programming you shouldn't care so much about distro and DE, but rather about your development tools and environment. Debian + LXDE will surely save you a lot of resources that can be otherwise spent for development tools. VSCode for instance might consume large amounts of memory...

LXDE is the least resource consuming among all DE's I know of, so if you want to go a low as possible then LXDE But keep in mind that those low resource DE's aren't feature rich like KDE or GNOME

If your PC isn't super duper Debian might as well be good choice. But it also depends on DE (Desktop Environment) which you install, some consume less resources some more.

I'm using VSCode for Linux every day and I would not change it for any other code editor, it's unmatched.

I suggest the following DNS servers (both in Switzerland) https://github.com/DigitaleGesellschaft/DNS-Resolver https://www.quad9.net/support/faq/ Respectively: 185.95.218.42 9.9.9.9 In addition you might want to configure encrypted DNS with unbound software, both of those support DNS over TLS.

@new_vintage According to your output in your post #6 pulseaudio service is disabled. So you might want to enabled it with: systemctl --user enable pulseaudio #Make sure it was enabled with systemctl --user status pulseaudio # If not run and check again sudo systemctl enable pulseaudio And...

lol no, you don't miss any games, 90% of Windows games run on Linux just fine. That was my main obstacle not to switch to Linux but things have changed, you can run Windows games in Lutris. (not all but most of them) some require adjusting settings, only few of them don't work at all.

@f33dm3bits Don't you have to bring connection\interface down prior changing settings?

@Freepoorman Congrats on dumping Windows, make sure nostalgia for Windows doesn't make you change your mind. I had nostalgia for the first 2 weeks or so, I believe every Windows convert suffers from same problem after switch. But after some time you realize Linux is the best, you just start to...

@new_vintage When you log-in to desktop please run this command: systemctl --user restart pulseaudio Does that make the sound work?

I was talking about root not boot partition. if it's root, and according to your code it is then the only way to do it is from live USB. Also note if your disk is encrypted them my steps won't work, the procedure is different for encrypted LVM's.
