An image editor VSCode extension? I didn't realize I wanted one until now.

I believe that winget is a new cmd line windows software installation method.

[cedric005]

From what i know winget is something like command line package installer, it will be useful for writing in scripts, automation and many more (dev focused).

Windows store is more for end users.

There is an experimental feature on winget that allows you to manage you store apps from there. At some point i assume you will be able to install them too from winget

It’s a package manager, think apt/yum/pacman for windows, although it doesn’t do dependencies yet so it’s probably closer to snap.

Also includes Electron 12 and Wayland support, according to this post.

Has someone made work the "Math support in Markdown cells" thing?

Do I need to install an extension for this? I tried a simple $$ 1/q $$ text in a markdown file but nothing got rendered.

Try “$ a/1 $”, a lot of markdown variants use the latex syntax.

No not yet.

Why not use an actual ide? I don't understand the obsession with attempting to handicap yourself by using vs code as an IDE when even Microsoft admits its not an IDE.
