MS is actively making your life using VS Codium a pain. They removed the download button the extension marketrplace making it very difficult to download extensions and installing them in VS Codium since VS Codium does not have access to the official MS extension marketplace. Many don't publish outside the marketplace for example Platformio.

Luckily I avoided extensions before switching to VS Codium. Glad to hear that I am avoiding Microsoft's spam.

I've not struggled to find the things I need at https://open-vsx.org https://open-vsx.org (usually by searching directly within VSCodium), but then I only use it for editing things like markdown docs and presentations, LaTeX/Typst, rather than coding, which I prefer to do in a terminal and with a modal editor.

Also, Microsoft does not allow use of their LSP for python. You have to use the barebones Jedi LSP.

  Fortunately, there are competing LSPs of reasonable quality now. I'm using pyrefly. Not sure if ty/ruff have one too.

    Did not know about this, thanks. Now I don't have to do half of my development in Zed and half in VSCodium :)

  This very company being acquired (astral) is up to fix this, by making the ty lsp server available

  basedpyright has existed for years and now we have pyrefly from meta too. I think ty is also working on one.

1. You can add a bookmark that executes enough JavaScript to download the VSIX as usual. 2. I think you can patch the product.json from VSCodium to use VSCode. Gets overwritten on every update probably. Honestly though, it's easier to disable ~three settings in VSCode and call it a day.
