How to install VS code?
Hey,
I installed VS code using this code: xbps-install VScode
but I've got CODE-OSS instead of the real VS code and I can't sync my account with this new app to get my saved extensions
so can someone help me how to install the real Visual Studio code? or at least how to link my VS account to this app?
Hello. Unfortunately the solution was to install Microsoft's version. Vscodium and standard Code don't support copilot properly yet.
But I followed vscodium steps (a few lines to disable telemetry in user json settings) and I sniffed with wireshark and honestly telemetry is almost non existent. It just checks for updates and sends some kind of ping (less than 8 bytes of data) upon startup. That's it.
So I'd say microsoft's version is actually pretty ok. It respects telemetry settings.
