VSCodium

Editor • Telemetry-free • VS Code compatible

VSCodium is a community-driven distribution of the VS Code editor that focuses on providing a build aligned with open-source ideals. It removes proprietary branding and telemetry-related components while keeping the familiar interface and broad extension ecosystem that made VS Code popular. This makes VSCodium attractive to developers who want transparency and control in their tooling while still benefiting from the productivity features and language support available in the VS Code world. On Linux, it's commonly used in professional settings where policy or preference favors open-source builds. If you like VS Code's workflow but want a more open distribution, VSCodium is a practical choice that remains compatible with many existing setups.
