I use vscodium, and let me point out a few things before anyone thinks its a drop in replacement :
the store/marketplace is not the same. Due to licencing vscodium is not allowed to access the microsoft vscode marketplace. However, you can change the url to use the official marketplace
some extensions ( mostly a few microsoft extensions ) are not allowed to run in vscodium. Think of stuff like the .net debugger
vscode has build in addons like the .net debugger, razor support, some c++ syntaxing etc, that vscodium does not have and can not have if you want the official addons
Overall i love vscodium, but for work i cant use it sadly.
Now hobby work is all vscodium
You can modify your product.json to use Microsoft’s extension gallery. There are also extensions you can install to do this for and prepackaged binaries that do as well
Yes, you can do that, and i mentioned it too. Hell, i always have vscodium set up like that haha.
However even then you can come across extensions you are not allowed to be install. Ive come across that error a few times, mostly with microsoft extensions
The MS store is replaced by OpenVSX by the Eclipse Foundation. Some addons are not there.
E.g. M$ closed source addons e.g. for remote development over ssh or their python and C# extensions.
for anyone else, Vscodium is vs code with all the Microsoft parts stripped out.

It’s early, but I have high hopes for Lapce.
I was never a fan of Electron, but I am admittedly very old school.
Including the add on store, so be prepared for a damn hazzle to get any add ons and keeping them up to date.
