And the first thing I did after assembling it, was install VS Code and Rust.  And irritatingly, there’s some kind of a bug with the current version of VS Code. 1.97.

Open a project- say for a Rust application and view the source code. After a few seconds or so it crashes with a The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘crashed’, code 5).

I also updated my Raspberry Pi 4B, installed Rust and got the same crash with it.

Thankfully Raspis come with grim which lets you do screenshots on Wayland.

Want to know if your system is running Wayland? From a terminal run this command:

echo “$XDG_SESSION_TYPE”

And you’ll either get wayland or x11.

So I hope the VS Code issue gets fixed soon.
