Someone pinch me when VisualStudio runs under Wine/Proton with at least a silver rating. It is quite literally the only app keeping me on Windows.

Out of interest, what do you need visual studio for that you cant get on linux?
Of course, there are always alternatives, but as a professional software engineer there are times I need to use genuine Visual Studio for one reason or another.
Why use Photoshop when Gimp is available? Fusion360 when there is FreeCAD? etc.
VsCode works fine on Linux
VS Code and Visual Studio have about as much in common as JavaScript and Java.
I have to admit it's been a bit but when I first made the transition after a couple years using JetBrains, everything I actually used in Visual Studio was in VsCode. I should also admit that a big part of Microsoft strategy from as far back as 2003 was to make things "easy" in a non-translatable way which kept people locked into Visual Studio. Having traversed this divide, I see it now as something akin to different languages for the same concepts. Not unlike learning further programming languages after your first.
