I tried to use Visual Studio Code a few times. One time, I encountered an error related to OmniSharp, though I don’t remember the exact details. However, Python worked fine, for example. Then, I reinstalled Arch, and now I’ve decided to try using Visual Studio Code again because I need it to learn programming. Unfortunately, I just can’t make it work. When I start debugging, nothing happens—no errors, nothing…
I have installed everything needed(.net-sdk, mono). However, the problem is that I just can’t work with it properly. I am unable to run the debugger. When I press F5 and select a debugger, nothing happens. I managed to run a ‘hello world’ using the ‘dotnet run’ command, but that’s all. I have no idea how to fix it, and I can’t find any information about my issue.

Make sure you install the C# Dev Kit extension, the C# extension alone won’t do it.

Omnisharp was a pain to get working properly.
It’s not on Fedora or EL based distro
C# is microsoft, so you’ll want to use windows for that or pick a better language to learn.

Your comment is not entirely correct. C# is invented by Microsoft, but today runs equally well on practically all platforms including Linux, MacOS, Windows, IOS, Android etc. It even runs as WebAssembly.
Last time I tried to get a C# application running on linux, I got so frustrated of the mess that is mono and just ran it through wine. C# is still windows first, even if it theoretically works with any OS.
It used to be this way yes, not anymore.
Don’t use mono, use dotnet core instead.
Avalonia in Linux does it job for almost case… it’s crazy tbh…
I have been going through Azure training for work and I have been doing all my training/dev on Arch. I haven’t run into any issues with c#. Haven’t had to use Omni Sharp that I can recall but vscode has been working fine with c#
Sounds like user error.
