Feature idea
With original VSCode from Microsoft there are some problems/bugs esp. #797 so VSCode does not work on Mac (x86).
An alternative tool is VSCodium that is an Open-Source edition/fork of VSCode.
Ideally we can support this as an edition of vscode in IDEasy.
However, there will be some challenges:
- The structure of
VSCodium is slightly different to VSCode. So they even have different binary names. But maybe we could handle that in getBinaryName() of VsCode commandlet and add an if condition checking if the edition is vscodium.
- We need to check if the versions between VSCode and VSCodium are kind of syntax compatible.
Additional context
In the end users should be able to switch via VSCODE_EDITION=vscodium but still be able to run ide vscode to install and run the tool.
