VSCode! I’m yet to find another editor that runs as smoothly on remote machines. Zed has been getting much better at this, but it’s still too buggy to consider a switch.

Check out VSCodium, which is open source telemetryless binaries of VSCode

Edit: Nevermind, it seems you already use it

I appreciate the thought!

As far as I’ve tested it, vscodium doesn’t support the same remote extensions that vscode does, it’s very silly.

[–] Charger8232@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's simply due to the repository VSCodium uses to pull extensions from (in the name of using open source extensions). Other (proprietary) extensions can be installed by downloading the .vsx file and installing manually. In most cases, though, open source alternatives to proprietary extensions exist.

While this workaround exists, it breaks Microsoft's Visual Studio Marketplace terms of use: https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU :/
