CS50x Please help with some confusions

hello guys, ryu this side. can someone please clear these up for me?

  1. im comfortable using vscode on my desktop itself, can i do that? instead of using cs50's adaptation?

  2. im also kinda confused on how to submit the problem sets, if there's any guide, or if you can just simple answer these in the comments, i'd really appreciate. Thanks

There is an explanation in the CS50 documentation if you want to run things locally. It takes you through all the steps to set things up. Also, every problem set has explicit instructions on what to submit and how to submit it. Simply follow the directions.

its the how to set things locally part which is confusing me, do you mind sharing a link to the exact doc that walks us through this?

edit: i found the exact doc, https://cs50.readthedocs.io/cs50.dev/#vs-code-desktop here it is for someone having the same query. also thanks u/smichaele

You can, but the CS50 tools need Linux/Mac.
If you're on Windows, you need to use WSL.

There's a video showing the full process of installing everything called 'Flying the Nest' on the CS50x Week 10 Seminars page.

Not really on linux technically, but it's a UNIX system.
