Recently I’ve been getting errors with Elixir LS, they sort of went away after removing deps and the elixir ls folder at first but now I think it’s literally broken. and I don’t know why
So when the extension tries to start up it gives
Running /home/andrew/.vscode-server/extensions/jakebecker.elixir-ls-0.30.0/elixir-ls-release/launch.sh

And I do believe that I have the proper things installed as shown by the following commands,

maybe the issue is confliction? Because what happens for me at least is when I mise implode and remove and run elixir –version I get a similar thing like the init terminating But honestly I’m no elixir expert so I ask unto you guys for help and what I can do

I can give more details, well the final detail I suppose is that in my backend folder the .elixir_ls folder is not being made there anymore, maybe I deleted it one too many times? I can give more details, but I tried searching up and this really is bugging me! That’s all, any help would be really really appreciated
edit: I even tried with ADSF But I still get the errors! This is so confusing
edit 2: I uninstalled elixir from all my paths and everything on windows that I could, I also within file explorer deleted the extension in the vscode folder and reinstalled it but still Nothing!
edit 3:
one more thing, maybe it’s a vscode issue in general not being able to find stuff because now in Lexical I get things like this, maybe vscode can’t access my path or version managers or anything else? I really don’t know 
I’m using WSL Ubuntu on win11
