Open VS -> New Project -> Winform/WPF -> Run

to elabolate:

1. Open VS, wait a minute. 2. New Project 3. Run, wait 10 minutes for dependencies to download. 4. Want to use Sublime Text or VS Code, haha lol.

>3. Run, wait 10 minutes for dependencies to download.

Why would you need 10 minutes?

>dotnet new winforms

>dotnet run

>app appears

takes a few secs

even on old .NET there was no such a thing like 10 min wait for dependencies to load

You're playing on hard mode; try using Visual Studio for everything.

#3 is a one-time cost, #4 is you are doing it wrong
