... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.

@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)
