I’m developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I’m on an immutable system I’d rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can’t get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it’s not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn’t...
