Shame on me haha :) Unfortunately I need to have all the possible speed and ease of use for VSCode specifically but I am not worried about telemetry (I have my blockers and things like that), yes is bloated af tho ^^'

Anyway, I have no conky installed ;) Just pure and simple Plasma widgets and font customization!

There is no speed penalty to using Codium. It's literally the repository built with telemetry off and without MS spyware. And, why use VS code if you care about speed in the first place.

Well, as a non-native I may have used the wrong word. I meant: I care about getting things done quickly, without some extension not working or behaving weirdly because I built it in the slightest wrong way due to some unknown bug or problem. I love and prefer to tinker with all of my software stack except vscode: I tried VSCodium once and I don't know why, but many of the plugins I needed didn't work properly. Surely it is my fault, but I am not in a position to invest time in such a fundamental working tool (at least for me).

On a note: I even had problems with Cursor, the AI-powered fork of VSCodium. Looks like VSCode is helding me hostage

It's the exact same setup as code, if the extensions work in VSCode they work in Sodium except a select few Microsoft created.

Any extension that you cannot install directly from Codium, you can just manually download/install the VSIX file for from GitHub or whatever.

Even copilot etc? I thought there was an issue with installing certain GitHub/Microsoft extensions.
