@LiquidParasyte yes. VSCode is kind of like Chrome (I'm not talking about electron). It's Microsoft's branded distribution of Code - OSS, which is like Chromium for this analogy. vsdbg only works on VSCode, it doesn't even work on the core project Code - OSS, let alone forks like VSCodium
@kura@Jain i know i'm just frustrated that that's the state of the ecosystem. everything is "free, open-source, cross-platform" except for the debugger
@kura@Jain oh thank you! i'm using "Code - OSS" on Linux. because it isn't "Visual Studio Code", the "Code - OSS" distribution published by Microsoft vsdbg doesn't work. i'll give this a go though
