The VS Code as provided by the Solus repo is considered unofficial and as such has certain limitations like inability to run proprietary Microsoft extensions (for example Pylance) - see here for details. A distro agnostic way to get an official VS Code supported by Microsoft is to use snap, but trying to do so produces this scary warning:
Snaps may be removed from Solus in 2025, and are not fully confined in Solus with Linux kernel 6.9 and newer. See the section on confinement below.
There is a flatpak, supposedly from Microsoft itself, but the org is unverified and the version provided there is about a month behind, which raises a red flag for me.
So my question is what is a future proof way of getting an unhindered version of VS Code running on Solus? Manually juggling official tarballs?
