I’m hoping to do some Zynthian development as well as developing a simple JUCE-based plugin. I’m a recently retired software engineer with 45 years of experience, but haven’t used either VSCode or Visual Studio much. I’ve also never used JUCE before, so I’ll want to be able to follow a hand-holding tutorial.
For Zynthian, VSCode is recommended. For JUCE using Projucer, Visual Studio is recommended. (I’m not set on using Projucer, but I want the smoothest start-up experience.) Can I install both and manage it? Or should I go with one or the other and make do in the non-optimal case?
Also, my laptop is Windows, though I use Ubuntu on both WSL and VirtualBox. I prefer WSL because I can use OneDrive so the files are accessible from any system, but can use VB if needed.
I’m willing to replace Ubuntu. The Zynthian wiki says to use Debian Jesse but I hope it’s just out-of-date. WSL supports Bullseye, Bookworm, and Trixie.
Recommendations please?
