Yes, I do. But rarely i work in more than one at once.
Is it suitable for handling more than one MCU within the same project?
I just took one of them and flashed one of those small programs in it, using VSCode in Windows: SUCCESS

I’m surprised. I hope it’s not an intermittent error!
Yes, that is also possible, but a completely different topic 
This leaves only the inexplicable phenomenon of why the upload worked under Windows. But we certainly won’t find out.
