About:
VSCodium is a community-driven, open-source distribution of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code editor. It provides identical functionality for software development, including IntelliSense, debugging, and extension support, but removes all proprietary branding, telemetry, and licensing restrictions. This makes it a preferred choice for developers who prioritize privacy, open-source compliance, and software freedom.
|
Key Features:
- Fully open-source binary of VS Code
- No telemetry, tracking, or proprietary licensing
- Full support for VS Code extensions and themes
- Regular updates synced with upstream VS Code releases
- Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows
|
Use Cases:
- General-purpose software development across multiple programming languages
- Editing configuration files, scripts, and documentation in a privacy-focused environment
|
Alternatives:
-
visual-studio-code
– The official Microsoft build, includes proprietary branding, telemetry, and licensing.
-
zed
