Option to swap out VSCode for VSCodium

[TiemenSch]

Describe the package

I'd like to request the package VSCodium because I would like to keep the image a bit more FOSS and less of a "telemetry farm" for MS.

https://vscodium.com/

How would I go about replacing this? From what I can see it's quite heavily integrated in the system configuration and devcontainer setup.

To begin with, I think it would default to installing vscodium (of course) and adding a command alias code that redirects to codium.

The harder part is to check whether all extensions also exist on the open extension marketplace https://open-vsx.org and to migrate the IDE/extension config.

You'd have to make a custom image for this: https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template

I'm looking for a solution where it's all bluefin and it's tweaks, with this as the key change. I was wondering whether it is a flavor uBlue would consider.

Then again, I might just start cherry picking all changes in this repo to be built using that template in the end anyways.

I would recommend going the custom image route if you want to completely remove and replace it. At this time this is not something we are considering for Bluefin given the capability gap between the two products.

Additionally, you do not have to use VSCode while using Bluefin. If having it appear in your application list is something you want to avoid, you can copy the desktop file to a writable data-dirs directory and add the hidden key to the desktop file.
