VS Code (i know it's still MS but I do C# .NET work and rider is too expensive, I don't want a subscription for an IDE)

VSCodium is a thing too if you want to un-Microsoft even further.

https://vscodium.com/

I use it for C# development on Linux and it works well.

getting a password manager

Bitwarden and Keepass are usually the go tos, depending on your use case.

then a new browser

Firefox or if you want to decouple from Mozilla as well, Librewolf works pretty well.

potentially a Google pay replacement

I'm not aware of any open Google Pay replacements other than taking a card with you.

As soon as you get rid of Google on your phone, you get rid of Google Pay.

    I used vscodium for a bit but their latest C# Dev kit is locked to VS Code proper :(

    I even made a cool bash script that would download and install ms vs store extensions and all of their dependencies before hitting this roadblock (to get the ones not available on open vsx).

    Thanks for the password manager suggestions, I'll look into them when I get a chance.

    I've been looking into firefox forks too.

    I would like to keep contactless via my phone as I don't ever really carry my wallet with me anymore these days so maybe Google pay will have to stay. Bit annoying that it won't be able to be used on whatever browser I end up going with though :(

    Is there something missing in OmniSharp that prevents you from using VSCodium?

    I do most of my C# development with the OmniSharp plugin in VSCodium on Linux.

    Does it have proper .sln support with a solution explorer?

    I don't use the Solution explorer but I also don't think it has one.

    I usually kickstart a fresh application with a SLN and a few projects in the dotnet CLI and VSCodium picks up the launch project automatically when I tell it to create a launch.json. For existing applications, if the .vscode folder already exists it will just pick it up or I can also just ask it to create a launch.json.

    That workflow has been ingrained into me since there were no real C# utilities for VS Code when it first launched, so not much changed for me when going to VSCodium.
