vscode without distrobox

basically torch.compile doesn't work in distrobox even if I select non-distrobox python and i tested multiple distrobox distros and it always happens, so i need to install vscode outside of distrobox so is it possible to install non distrobox vscode and have it actually see my file system and conda environments unlike the flatpak version

You can layer it with rpm-ostree if you like. I've adjusted the instructions from here https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_rhel-fedora-and-centos-based-distributions Add an entry into "/etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo"

echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\nautorefresh=1\ntype=rpm-md\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo > /dev/null

echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\nautorefresh=1\ntype=rpm-md\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo > /dev/null

Then don't install with dnf, use rpm-ostree instead

rpm-ostree install code

rpm-ostree install code

Reboot your machine and you'll have vscode installed as if it was part of the image. The downside is your updates will be a little slower as it will need to download the latest vscode whenever you do updates. So don't go crazy with layering lots of software.

Get Visual Studio Code up and running on Linux.

why not any AppImage distribution? is the way io work, self updatable and without layering
