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.

At least use VSCodium which is VSCode without telemetry/tracking ...
Unfortunately it's not a drop in replacement. The biggest issue was certain extensions are not available on codium.
No remote SSH extension which I need
Maybe the one suggested in this thread might work for you?

Some people just want to get their work done, instead of jumping through hoops.
If you want to support Microsoft then at least give them your personal data too. Don't tease the poor corpo :-(
