Try running it from the command line with code --disable-gpu.

If that works, you can update the desktop shortcut files (exec section) with the same added parameter.

I recently ran into something similar (opensuse slowroll//kde)

Ref: stackoverflow/Google for the --disable-gpu argument, the desktop file editing - I did for convenience.

Here's how you can find . desktop files

Desktop file reference.- easy format

First, thank you! Sadly, this didn't help. In ended up deleting (renaming) ~/.config/Code which helped. Luckily enough all the plugins survived because they are installed under ~/.vscode

That's interesting. I am on GNOME/Wayland and the above flag helped.

Actually, while figuring things out, I did also install Codium and copied the extensions folder from VSCode to the codium folder... Works like a charm - might stay there for the peace of mind.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
