From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch Linux | A Big Visual Studio Code C# Programming Issue (lemmy.ml)

I tried to use Visual Studio Code a few times. One time, I encountered an error related to OmniSharp, though I don't remember the exact details. However, Python worked fine, for example. Then, I reinstalled Arch, and now I've decided to try using Visual Studio Code again because I need it to learn programming. Unfortunately, I just can't make it work. When I start debugging, nothing happens—no errors, nothing..

I have installed everything needed(.net-sdk, mono). However, the problem is that I just can't work with it properly. I am unable to run the debugger. When I press F5 and select a debugger, nothing happens. I managed to run a 'hello world' using the 'dotnet run' command, but that's all. I have no idea how to fix it, and I can't find any information about my issue.

Have you tried setting a breakpoint and seeing if it hits? Assuming the app you are debugging is just a Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); and no breakpoints are set, the app will execute, output hello world, and terminate. Which means you wouldn't see anything happen in VS Code.

If you are super new to all this, I would suggest you look for videos/articles on how to debug using visual studio code as they may provide some insights or concepts you may not already know.
