Install OSS version of VSCode: VSCodium via Scoop (Win) / Codium via Snap (Linux)

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under a not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.

Instead install the OSS version: VSCodium on Windows, and Codium on Linux.

  • On Windows using Scoop:
scoop bucket add extras; scoop install vscodium
  • On Linux using Snap:
snap install codium --classic
