If you have WSL2 running probably these steps could help you set up Rust Language Support in Visual Studio Code.
Im gonna walk through the steps I believe are needed to make it run, however if you have done this before and think any of the steps can be avoided comment it out so we can just remove it.
If you want to add more on the documentation add your input. Everything is welcome.
This is the normal steps we would find in https://developer.holochain.org/docs/install/
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
. /home/holomachine/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
Globally install Holochain and HC
nix-env -f https://holochain.love -iA holochain.hc
Create a project folder and cd to it
mkdir projects
cd projects
Init an App with hc and generate a zome
hc init myApp
cd myApp
hc package
hc generate zomes/hello rust-proc
hc package
Now open VIsual Code
code .
On the extension look for, Nix Environment Selector and RLS and install them on the server side.
Reload window then press F1 and write Nix-Env select the only option then select default.nix.
Search for the RLS installed extension, click on the Manage Icon and configure settings as follow:
Make sure you do the same on the Remote[WSL] tab
Reload The window ctrl+shift+P-> Reload Window
Tell cargo to use git executable:
cd ~/.cargo
nano config
[net]
retry = 2 # network retries
git-fetch-with-cli = true # use the `git` executable for git
save the file
now go to the root folder where you created myApp
I followed this documentation https://docs.holochain.love/docs/configure/
nano default.nix

# This is also used to dogfood as many commands as possible for holonix

Use Holonix to work with this repository.
See:

Everything should be ready to go, open nix-shell without https://holochain.love
nix-shell
code .
Make sure you have the selector correct:
If I missed anything please comment.
Special Thanks to the guys that helped solving it. @tixel @marcus
Thanks
