Shame on me haha :) Unfortunately I need to have all the possible speed and ease of use for VSCode specifically but I am not worried about telemetry (I have my blockers and things like that), yes is bloated af tho ^^'
Anyway, I have no conky installed ;) Just pure and simple Plasma widgets and font customization!
Well, as a non-native I may have used the wrong word. I meant: I care about getting things done quickly, without some extension not working or behaving weirdly because I built it in the slightest wrong way due to some unknown bug or problem. I love and prefer to tinker with all of my software stack except vscode: I tried VSCodium once and I don't know why, but many of the plugins I needed didn't work properly. Surely it is my fault, but I am not in a position to invest time in such a fundamental working tool (at least for me).
On a note: I even had problems with Cursor, the AI-powered fork of VSCodium. Looks like VSCode is helding me hostage
