How does VSC integrate with the linux side? (or any program like Visual Studio. Ie custom Terminal emulators like Alacritty)

Eg on a native system (Linux/Mac), a lot of editors launch subprocesses like Language Server Protocol Servers which would expect to be in the context of Linux. But the Visual Studio Code instance is running in.. windows, right?

Same goes for Alacritty - i'd want the executable GUI to be running, but to run within the context of Linux.

How does that work for you?

Both work fine with WSL2 There's special support for VS code for WSL. E.g. using the editor on windows for development within WSL is pretty seamless.
