VS Code Remote SSH
code CLI and remote server preinstalled so the first connection is immediate; same for Cursor and Windsurf.

What it installs
- The code CLI and the remote server for the release it names, preinstalled so the first Remote SSH connection is immediate.
- The extensions you list, and a Remote Tunnel as a systemd service if you ask for one.
- The same ground for Cursor and Windsurf, which lay their own server the same way.
What it asks you for
- The extensions to preinstall, one identifier per line.
- Remote Tunnel, yes or no.
Good to know
The tunnel asks for one sign-in once installed; Remote SSH asks for nothing beyond the key you already use. Visual Studio has no Linux backend: if you ask for it the app says so and points you here.
