- thomaslord 7y agoI spent just as long fighting snap when I wanted to use a custom font with ligatures. User-installed fonts don't work with snap, apparently. I would've spent substantially less time figuring out the problem, but I didn't even know I had the snap version - I typed `apt install code` and transparently got a snap package instead of a deb.

- simlevesque 7y agoOn ubuntu 17 there was a dependency issue when I installed the .deb.
- darkteflon 7y agoAnecdotally, I’ve been using the VS Code snap (with the —classic flag, I believe) on Ubuntu 20.04 for the past couple of weeks without issue.
- dralley 7y agoI'm honestly kind of confused because it's really easy to install VS Code on Fedora through the officially provided RPM package, and there is an automatically-installed repository so that it's kept up to date.
