How to setup VScode for Project Bluefin

Hi. I’m a new time user to Linux and saw Project Bluefin and wanted to try it for my new laptop. For the most part the switch has been good except for setting up vscode. I tried to set up the ide for node.js, elm and ruby for school assignments but kept running into issues when trying to set it up similar to my desktop (which runs windows). I tried to follow the methods listed in the bluefin-dx website but am not sure if I’m installing it correctly. For anyone using bluefin for coding how have you set up your development environment. Any help would be appreciated.

Need more specifics here, which part of the docs? What did you try? Were there errors?

I tried the using dev containers section but keep getting a message that it can not establish connection “vscode-remote-try-java.devpod”

I am open to try another way if you think that works better.

Were you also trying to use devpod?

Can you explain what would be the difference between the two?

Here’s the info for both:

Have you seen the developer docs? It has links to tutorials, videos, etc: Bluefin Dx
