Hacker NewsI am on Windows 11, with WSL2. I have been a user of VS Code for a few years. And I was quite happy with it. I have yet to find another editor with the same level of integration with the languages I work with.
But since the last few weeks, I noticed a change of behavior. The VS Code Remote Server in the WSL starts to eat all the memory. I used to limit my WSL to 4GB of memory, I increased it to 8GB, and it still fills it up, and the swap, causing a huge disk load, making the whole computer extra slow, and the VS Code window becomes unresponsive. Often I either have to kill VS Code, sometimes the WSL itself.
It's so bad it became unusable. And honestly, 8GB for an editor? This is a joke.
I tried neovim, but the days when I enjoyed a vim-based setup are long gone, and honestly the integration with LSP servers is poor at best.
AFAIK, Sublime Text has no WSL integration.
Do you have any recommendations?
