The only ~~difference~~ downside really is the occasional extension that needs a manual install.

I've been trying out VSIX Manager for my extensions so that I can keep track of which ones I want to install on each machine. This can make it easier to install the weird extensions that you can't install otherwise

Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

Yeah, they really added DRM.

VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?

That'd be relevant if it were the issue and not specifically snap related.

Friendly reminder, that Emacs exists.

I open nano more often than any other editor, and by a lot. I spend more TIME in vscode and maybe Kate, but lately I've been tweaking setups on a couple of machines.

Use sudoedit (or sudo -e) to make sure you don't mess up permissions and also export EDITOR=vim in your shell to use a superior editor.

Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.

I've been using sed recently to edit my lines. Quite cumbersome but it gets the work done.

Friendly reminder that Kate has nothing to do with Microsoft at all.

Arent a lot of extensions incompatible by design? Some closed part of vscode needed for full functionality.

I tried open vss I think it's called on arch and I have trouble using it to remotely access configs on my home server via the SSH extension. I got fed up with it and installed the MS version from yay. I resent it but it works.

I think the open version might not have the ms extension store configured. There should be a separate AUR package for that. At least there is for VSCodium. Alternately you can just grab the VSIX for the extensions you want from the MS version and install them on the open one. Personally I don't know what open vss is so I use codium.
