binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing - GitHub - VSCodium/vscodium: binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing
The problems are that VSIX binaries can’t legally be redistributed and many of them aren’t even open source in the first place. Many won’t even work if you manually download them and add them to Codium. VS Code really doesn’t deserve to be viewed as open source in any way shape or form and folks need to embrace the Open VSX market place and avoid Microsoft’s like the plague.
You’re lucky to have found all the extensions you need. That’s not the norm.
Nobody views GitHub as open source. Folks do believe that VS Code is open source but because the extension store can’t be accessed by anything else (like an actual open source build of VS Code’s codebase) it’s an extremely dirty lie.
