binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing - GitHub - VSCodium/vscodium: binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing
Sadly with much less extensions,
i use it just to compile and flash my marlin 3D printer and every extension needed has to be set up manually, for some reason even then i can't get it to work.
You can change your product.json to gain access to the Microsoft extension repositories. I still don't do it because fuck ms, for the few extensions that I do need I download them as .vsix on the web frontend.
