true for eg MS’ C++ extensions or copilot - they actively block installing and running it on codium, based on some internal “app name” config of the IDE.
there’s a workaround for that though. install both codium and vsc, install extensions on vsc, symlink the “.vscode” folder to “. vscode-oss”, and edit codium’s app info json (forgot filename) to match vsc’s (mainly the “app name”). last step needs to be done after each update, but can applied with a script, happy to share if anyone needs it. Just make sure the installed codium- and vsc versions match.
Just be aware MS did the MS thing of not permitting some plugins to work on non vscode installations like the corporate dicks they are.

Well I don’t feel the need to shoot myself in the foot enough to justify learning C++, but it’s good to see that a work around exists.
they do? i always just downloaded the .vsix file and installed manually that way.
i’m fairly certain there’s also a patch to enable the marketplace properly on vscodium. i think i used it when i still used arch.
Not all addons allow you to download a vsix though.
