it’s fun for microcontrollers, for when you get bored with software and want to venture out into hardware

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.

i agree - the last letter in FLOSS stands for software, and everything before that is describing qualities of that software. the term has nothing to do with hardware per say in my opinion.
