I was wondering why they wanted to rewrite it then I realised they are using electron...ouch!

I found Xenoblade absolutely impressive under all aspects. Zelda is fantastic, FF EX, Dragonquest... all with their distinctive art style and mechanics

But what really stuns me are the emulation capabilities. You can play all Nintendo portable games at ease + a ton of home console of the '90s and before and all in your pocket

New 3DS XL. Great screen(s), great battery, great emulation capability and great native games.

Yes, I've tried already that option (code server) and unfortunately I cannot use the "Remote" / "Dev Containers" extension with it. If you know how to do that, please let me know.

Thanks a lot, great suggestion! I'll play around with it and let you know :)

Thanks but that would not fit my case as I'd have to install locally all the toolchain. As much as possible I'd like to have everything on a remote server.

Thanks for the reply, actually I wasn't aware of that functionality in Github, that's fantastic! If only I could have something similar selfhosted... :)

Thanks, that was an option I had on table, just wanted to check if there was a "simpler" solution

Fantastic suggestion and thanks for the post, very clear! I played with NixOS some time ago but I totally missed this capability. Fits quite well my use case, thanks! And I found this extension that could make things easier: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector

I had a look at it but it doesn't seem to be able to create isolated dev environments on its own. Is it the case?

It's all developer's faults. If they only accepted the fair new pricing policy without protesting, this decision could have been avoided /s

That's a possibility for sure. My suggestion would be first to test the capability of the device before buying anything. Once you're satisfied with it, you can take the next steps and buy additional hardware. In my experience a USB-C -> ETH port was a great purchase as I was experiencing shaky WiFi connection possibly due to battery saving settings.
