    I am BEGGING for any editor other than VSCode to have decent remote development. I want to go open source but everything I’ve tried (remote-nvim, distant, tramp, vscodium, etc.) just doesn’t cut it.

      What in hell is remote development? You mean openssh and vim, right?

        Pair programming over the net. The old school way is tmux and vim but to do that you and your partner need port 22 open and most enterprises are gonna be like “hell no you can’t let people connect to your company owned work laptop SSH into your machine”

      Apparently Lapce has remote development as its core feature. But I only (re?)learned of it today…

      How didn’t tramp work out for you?

      Have you tried running doom emacs in tmux on the remote server and accessing it with ssh? Doom emacs is all the good of an emacs environment, all the good of vim keybinds, and they worked in a decent amount of optimizations so it only loads the necessary stuff on demand (mine has a startup time of just over 1 second, slower than vim but barely an inconvenience). Can write a quick script to ssh copy (or git pull) your current configs on the server so you only have to maintain one set of configs if you want

      scp ~/.config/doom/config.el username@server:~/.config/doom/config.el

      Run emacs in tmux if you want to keep the emacs session open across multiple ssh sessions

      Is VSCode not open source?

        Vscode is like Chrome

        And

        VS Codium is like Chromium

        It has Microsoft BLObs baked in as part of the build process. VS Codium is the FLOSS distribution of VS code’s open source code. Liveshare doesn’t appear in the package repo Codium uses (because of the Microsoft BLObs it contains as an extension). For work I manually download the live share extension VSX and load it into vscodium

      IntelliJ products my dude! If you go on there education side you can find the packages for free to compile yourself. There’s tons of guides online to do it.

      What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.
