I feel very strange hating Windows, so I use Linux, but loving VS Code, so I use that on Linux. I feel like a hypocrite or something.
But the integration with platformio, github copilot, and all the plugins and customization are just too nice. It’s a one-stop shop for everything dev-related. It’s the only thing I need to run when programming along with a web browser for research.
Some extensions don’t work but many do, you just have to download the extension files from the marketplace website and tell VCCodium to install the extensions from those files.
Use whatever you like :) I tried VSCode at work for a few months but it felt quite lacking when working with larger C++ projects. Switched to CLion instead and it felt like it was faster, understood C++ much better, and made it easier to work in multiple files simultaneously. But I could see myseslf using VSCode for some small hobby project, especially if it’s C#

Use VScodium
I know VScodium doesn’t have the telemetry but is it lacking features regarding account login and extensions?

Yes and no:
https://open-vsx.org/
I use code-oss provided by the arch repos and it seems to automatically hook into thia. There is probably some way to add that to vscodium.
You can configure it to use MS’ extensions marketplace.
If there’s a way to get SSH working to edit files on other machines, I couldn’t find it.
