Visual Studio Code

You can install it from the AUR. See How to install applications? for instructions.

Compatibility note

• Chromium's sandbox needs Linux user namespaces, which Android does not allow, so VS Code has to run with --no-sandbox. Local Desktop applies that for you: ELECTRON_DISABLE_SANDBOX is exported for the whole desktop session, and application entries for Chromium-based apps are shadowed with --no-sandbox copies in ~/.local/share/applications. VS Code launches from the XFCE Application launcher and from the terminal with no extra flags. Termux + proot-distro still requires the flag by hand.

• Launching as a root user requires the --user-data-dir flag. Why?

However, it is recommended to use a non-root user for running Visual Studio Code. See Creating a Non-root User for instructions.
