I do have one issue with VSCodium, which has turned me off from it - it lacks some of the extensions. I also recall that I ran into trouble with it when configuring it for, I believe, C++ or PHP, but that might just have been a 'me' issue that will get resolved after I get more comfortable with TypeScript.
That's fair, it's certainly the one big weakness. But that's the tradeoff. Getting rid of Microsoft means getting rid of Microsoft, extension store included.
'R' as in, the language?
R studio, a statistic program
I've used R studio on Arch Linux ARM before, so it should work
If I recall correctly what R studio is, it's just an IDE for the R language. There are, at the very least, alternatives to it, including VS code.
On that note, I have been meaning to relearn R. I should set up VS Code to work with it, and/or try R studio.
A good alternative to vscode is vscodium. It's basically vscode with the Microsoft-specific stuff like telemetry not included.
