Great! Another thing I would to know is.. How did you set your desktop theme (taskbar, apps toolbar... etc) to that nice looking blue? I have been in Linux for a while so I'm not aware of Windows customization... Perhaps I'm switching to a setup similar than yours :)

The theme colors are standard Windows 10 features.
Right click your desktop
Choose the Personalize menu item
For colors, goto the Colors tab on the left
Uncheck automatically pick accent color
Pick a custom color, mine is specifically #03357B (the color selector lets you input hex values if you hit More)
Uncheck transparency effects
Check both accent color options (start, taskbar + title bars and windows)
Use light as the default app mode
Now your taskbar, start menu and all of your windows will use that custom color.
If you're happy with your set up, you can goto the Themes tab on the left and then save it as a pre-set.
I also modified VSCode's workbench colors so it matches my Windows theme. Those settings are in my dotfiles.

Yep. I didn't add anything special.
I only added an alias for
alias code="code-insiders"because I use Code Insiders but prefer typingcodeinstead ofcode-insiders.All of my Bash aliases and everything else (including VSCode config) is at github.com/nickjj/dotfiles.
