My pixel slate not pretty good

If running in

  • Linux (beta)
    • Use too much battery (4-6 hours)
    • Default no GPU support (I haven't try set GPU support in chrome://flag)
  • VSCode Online
    • Need azure account with credit card (but it's free)
    • Your VSCode server need GUI (no command line setup)
    • No port forward
    • Web page forward not pretty work
    • Good battery life (8 - 10 hours)

Thanks for the feedback! I didn’t think about the decreased battery life for Chromebooks when using the Linux version of VS Code.

I do need to look into VS Code Online more. I initially didn’t see much benefit for me because I already had a development server to attach to.
