I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system.. Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.

The flatpack version is slow and crashy AF.

Yay, it uses the XDG dirs... Wait, no, not like that.

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

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

Friendly reminder, that Emacs exists.

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

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

Oh nice, I didn’t know, thank you!

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.

Team Jetbrains!

It's a snaps issue. Guessing you didn't read past the headline.
