I am still learning code and one of the things that is constantly asking me for tutorials and assignments is that I use visual studio. However, recently I installed Linux Manjaro OS and things are definitely different than windows OS in which I am used to. It is taking some time to learn everything about this. I have over 10 years with Windows OS and only Windows OS LOL. Anyways, I saw a post that while VS is not a Linux friendly program, Visual Studio Code the lighter version is. The problem I have is, which install is best for my Manjaro version?

CodePudding user response：

you can get the vscode package with sudo pacman -Syu code in your terminal

Generally, I would warn against downloading files without using the manjaro package manager pacman or pamac.
One of the premises of Linux, and especially distros based upon arch such as Manjaro is the utility and ubiquity of the Terminal. I started using Manjaro this year, and definitely one of the most difficult things to get used to is the reliance upon the terminal.
Linux-schpeel aside, the easiest way to install programs or packages on Manjaro is to type pamac install for standard packages or pamac build forr packages from the AUR. In your case, I would recommend installing visual-studio-code-bin as it allows you to run a wider variety of extensions such as the Windows C/C extension.

So in a line: pamac build visual-studio-code-bin for pamac

Good luck out there and welcome to the linux community! :D
