open-remote-ssh doesn't currently work with Positron because Positron does not currently build the bundles that need to be installed inside the remote host. We're definitely interested in making this work, though; stay tuned!
That is great to know. I work in an academic environment and would gladly give feedback on this from the perspective of teaching post grads. Feel free to contact, email in hn profile.
That’s been my problem with any non-MS vscode distribution. Missing Remote-SSH and devcontainers. Both of which I tend to use a lot — especially remote ssh with large datasets that exist on remote servers.
If I am doing ML most of the time I am using a server GPU with a large dataset. This is one of the use cases that made me use VSCode more than RStudio.
When I have really wanted to use RStudio I use the web version, but its less pleasant than a simple ssh remote.
