I’m currently following these tutorials to learn Unity: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPV2KyIb3jR5QFsefuO2RlAgWEz6EvVi6
They are very well-explained and at the perfect learning speed for me. But, when I got to part 2, at about a minute in, he opens up Visual Studio to start coding and such. I didn’t have Visual Studio at the time, so I put a stop to trying to learn Unity for about a month. But now I want to try again.
I downloaded Visual Studio, but got severally lost when it came to the Workloads and Individual Components options. In other words, I don’t know what I need or don’t need.
Can anyone tell me what is and isn’t necessary to have? I just want to be able to code 3D games, if that helps.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this!

Generally just let Unity install it for you. If that fails, here’s some notes:
This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:
Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets → Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.
Other times it requires you also nuke the userprefs and .vsconfig and other crufty low-value high-hassle files that Visual Studio tends to slowly damage over time, then try the above trick.
Barring all that, move on to other ideas:
Also, try update the VSCode package inside of Unity: Window → Package Manager → Search for Visual Studio Code Editor → Press the Update button
