My rule with trying a new install is to “try docker first” and if it doesn’t work then I don’t bother trying to debug docker because it’s usually easier to just try native OS stuff.
But when docker works it’s always great. Most of the time it works perfectly and I have only ever had problems when I need cuda support and their is some version mismatch with some random half ass DockerFile someone made.
Vscode and dotnet core (5+) work well on linux
You can also run SQL Server via docker
Do you even need docker for MS-SQL?
It doesn’t appear so.
I run Arch, so docker was the easiest method of installation.
Rather than try and figure out how to install a .deb manually (and lose package manager perks)
