From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can actually use distrobox to set up a regular version of Fedora, set up VSCode there using the official Microsoft RPM and keep all your code in there.
I know, but then again... it's just another layer of maintenance.
Don't get me wrong. Distrobox is a wonderful piece of software. I use Arch inside DB to run some non-crucial stuff that's not available in the fedora repos/copr, like lycheeslicer.
But having a working and reliable code environment is something I'd really not want to babysit.
