C# Dev Kit, not available in VSCode on Manjaro.
I am trying to setup a dev environment on Manjaro, but when i go to extensions in VSCode, i can't find the C# Dev Kit. I have installed the dot net core 8 runtime and sdk (if that matters). Any one have experince with this, or is it just not available on Manjaro?

Try installing it from the browser?

There is no install button on the webpage, only a link, and putting that into VSCode yields no result.
No install button like this? Weird
You sure you have VS Code and not VSCodium or something?
about:
Yeah, that's Code-OSS, basically VS Code with proprietary Microsoft stuff removed
DevKit is proprietary Microsoft stuff, so it doesn't work outside of VS Code
Ok - makes sense. Do you know if there is a way to get "regular" vscode on to an arch system?
There's an AUR package ig: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/visual-studio-code-bin
This article seems to have a step-by-step guide: https://umaranis.com/2018/07/05/installing-visual-studio-code-vscode-on-manjaro-linux/
Thanks, not sure what AUR is or how it works (still a bit new to arch/linux). But sure i can google my way to the rest
That is perfect, you effort is much appreciated.
Note: AUR is not recommended on Manjaro
You're not on Arch, you're on Manjaro
although it works for most people
I thought that Manjaro was build on Arch?

Install aspnet-runtime
And install the proprietary version of visual studio code to begin with.
Install also dotnet-sdk
Btw, avoid Manjaro. Use EndeavourOS instead or learn to install Arch.
Why?
Manjarno
Why you shouldn't use Manjaro

And if you are a beginner to Linux, it's clearly not a good idea to use Arch distros, especially with the AUR that can contain malware.
(It might be dared for me to say because EndeavourOS is the third distro I have used while I don't have much experience with Linux)
