Sure is. Part of the reason for moving the Win7 netbook to Lubuntu was
because VS Code doesn't do Win 7. It also isn't available on my 32-bit
Debian box. Other than that it's on all my machines, Windows or Linux.

I haven't hit an extension that doesn't work cross-platform either. I use
PlatformIO for Arduinos and MicroPico for the MicroPython on the RPi Pico
W. Pylance works for general Python work, the same for the C/C++ and C#
extensions. The .NET SDK is also cross platform so I do C# on Linux.
Jupyter Notebooks also works.  There are extensions for almost any
language but those are the ones I use.
 

What do you think of Eclipse, though?

Not much. I think the last time I used it was when we were developing an
Android app about 10 years ago but I switched to Android Studio when
Google stopped supporting the Eclipse ADT.

The most positive thing I can say about Eclipse is back in the day it was
better than NetBeans which truly sucked.
