@vox @Kinglink why not vscode?
... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components
official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)
vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.
@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source
yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)
There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.
A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.
