Note: For Win10 users, if you failed to install WSL2 or Hyper-V, you may try to install docker with VirtualBox. If you have ever installed VMWare or VirtualBox, I recommend that you'd better install docker with VirtualBox since there are some conflicts between Hyper-V and them.

The Remote-SSH extension plugin can help users connect to linux servers via ssh. With the help of this plugin, users can directly edit the file resources of the linux servers, call linux terminals.
WaveTrace is a plugin for viewing waveforms in vscdoe, which can easily view vcd waveforms directly from remote servers. However, the plugin only supports up to 8 waveforms at the same time in normal mode. If you want to view more, you need to purchase a license (15 USD for 2 devices).
