If you have low end PC, first advice: dont use vs code. Use Sublime text :)

Thank you mate, VSCode gets quite lagged sometimes, gonna try Sublime Text. Hopefully I'll get a different laptop to work with in the next few months...

Yup. I used to use Sublime Text for just that reason (though in my case it was a case of wanting something that would work well inside of Lubuntu running under VirtualBox on an old, non-virtualizing Windows laptop. VSCode was too sluggish for that, but Sublime Text did fine. I have since upgraded both laptop and desktop to faster, virtualizing machines, and have switched to VSCode. Right now, VSCode's Remote-SSH implementation is keeping me there.
