hey /g/ been using Linux for awhile now however turns out everyone

I thought Visual Studio worked on Linux

>>56085505
no it's only for windows

.deb and .rpm files for Visual Studio:
https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Visual studio is the king of IDEs, no questions asked. You'll want it in a virtual machine with a lot of memory and an SSD. TBQH if you're using Linux you probably want to do things the Linux way, which is everything is a text file you manipulate with a text editor and terminal. My workflow is centered around VS code and a terminal, which I suggest you try first because you can run it natively. Don't listen to anyone on this board when they tell you otherwise, do what works for you

>>56085513
thank you
i had no idea what to do

>>56085513
LoL, It's not Visual Studio. It's "VS Code", a different software. (I like it for Node.js, anyway)

>>56085459
It's fine if it doesn't have internet access

>>56085459
>however turns out everyone has to use visual studio at my workplace
I would switch jobs, honestly

Rather work at a company that knows what it's doing for less than earn lots being a visual shit code monkey

>>56086050
>don't make good money, quit your job and work on things I approve of

>>56086050

If the company mainly uses .NET, you don't really have much better options than Visual Studio.

>>56085966
what happens if it has Internet access?
any real consequences?

Just get Virtualbox or VMWare, you'll love snapshots once VS fails to install or shits the entire Windows system.

>>56085459
Yes it's a bad idea. W10 installs a rootkit when accessed through a VM, so you might as well just install W10. For Virtual Studio it's surely worth it. Probably the greatest IDE of all time.

VSCode might outpace VS someday but not in the near future.

>>56086733
Even if you use some form of mandatory access control on your virtual machine?

>>56085505
You're thinking of Visual Studio Code, which is just a basically a text editor on steroids.

>>56086643
nice thing about windows in a vm is you can just shut down vm when windows shits itself and give it another go, shitposting all the while and listening to music etc.

>>56086929
this shit is hardware level son.
no system is secure or sandboxed.
ever since the athlon 2 and core 2 due both amd and intel have hardwarelevel backdoors.

>>56085519
>download Visual Studio
>your installation will require 22GB of space
lol, no thanks sir, atom will do

>>56085459
w10 anniversary is way too new to know if it's vm ready.

>>56087825
What the actual fuck?

It runs on a VM just fine. Redstone is essentially the Server 2016 RTM code pushed to Windows 10.

>>56087919
I mean

okay

but it's only been out for a few weeks now

does anyone have more information on the rootkit?
is it true?

>>56085459
install windows on a separate partition, then install x, switch to bash, etc.

>>56085459
According to : https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/

Yes, it is a bad idea.

Hi there, nu-male milennial homo programmer.
How's tricks?

>>56085459
You don't need virtual machine.

Visual Studio works fine with Wine on Linux.

>>56089870
If you are worried about latency then you would stay away from Visual Studio because it runs like shit even on supercomputer.

>>56087735
You will always have hardware level backdoors, this doesn't magically dissappear if you don't use Windows 10. It's perfectly safe to run it virtualised.

>>56091885
Nah it doesn't.

>>56085459
just do what you gotta do to pay the bills

>>56091885
>my 5 year old PC is a supercomputer
It runs fine as long as you're not using a potato.

>>56085459
Welcome to the real world, where everyone uses Windows.

Grow up or continue being a linux manchild.

>>56087782
>download atom
>your installation will install in the background to an arbitrary directory, and take who knows how much space

no thanks, I'll keep using cat

Since this is work, you should be running Windows as your main OS. Now with bash on windows10, it should be bearable.

>>56087931
It's just fine. It doesn't take too long to set up and test a VM in any case, so "too new to know if it's vm ready" should have not been a problem within 30 minutes of its release (not to mention its months-long beta)

>>56092135

Seems like you haven't used it for projects bigger than Hello World.

Use VM, stay for a few months to not look like an unreasonable/complicated person in your job history, look for another job.

>>56093117
I work on a quite a large MFC codebase, for the most part VS performs quite decently once it has loaded the project and finished parsing the files. Ocassionally, intellisense and the refactor tool can be a bit slow but it's no big deal imo.

>>56093282

I never said it was unbearable, but there is no point worrying about latency if you are going to use VS anyway.
VM won't change VS experience. In fact, if you only run VS in VM without additional stuff usually running in Windows and cut of internet access it might even perform better than having Windows as main system.

>>56093320
>it might even perform better than having Windows as main system.

>>56085459
It works perfectly fine in a virtual machine.

I have a paid W10 license, installed it in Virtual Box and got free Visual Studio from my university. Everything works just fine for me, and should for you as long as your computer is powerful enough.

No thanks I'll keep using VI.

What kind of shit security policy does your "workplace" have if you're allowed to do this.

If everyone is using Meme Studio then your office must smell like shit and curry.

OMG so much interesting threads tonight.

Pick one.
