I believe part of what makes the VS Code experience is the extension store. Is this managed in some way with this distributed flavor ?

I'm using VSCodium daily and most extensions work, with the notable exception of official MS-published extensions, which mostly require VSCode.

This might help.

For me, VSCode keeps screwing up file encodings in a legacy project i maintain. I tell it not to autoguess the encoding and define a specific encoding to use. VSCode ignores that and keeps autoguessing.

VSCodium honors the settings (and is a wee bit more private and open-source).

AFAIK you can download every extension as vsix file from vs code web marketplace and then import it into VSCodium. That's how I have been installing missing extensions so far and it works well.

Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to switch for a while now but I never got to it
