Hi, I recently started using VS code with deal.ii. I found it very easy to work with, especially when you have a wsl installation. All you need to do is follow the instructions on these pages - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-wsl https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cmake-linux
VS code actually looks through the files in your directory and suggests extensions you would need. Best, Raghunandan.
