Enable Marketplace on non MS VSCode Forks.

Enabling VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium and Trae

Microsoft claims Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is open source, yet it restricts the use of its Marketplace extensions in non-Microsoft products like VSCodium (telemetry/tracking free open source fork), Cursor, Windsurf, Trae, and other VS Code-based IDEs, enforcing what some see as monopolistic control. This guide provides a workaround to enable the VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium and Trae (more to be added soon), allowing you to freely use extensions. Note that using the VS Code Marketplace with non-Microsoft products may violate its terms of use, which state that extensions are intended for use only with Microsoft Visual Studio products. Proceed at your discretion after reviewing the terms.


Enabling VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium

To configure VSCodium to use the VS Code Marketplace instead of the default OpenVSX Registry, you can either set environment variables or create a custom product.json file.

Download MSVC compiler/linker & Windows SDK without installing full Visual Studio

This downloads standalone 64-bit MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for 64-bit native desktop app development.

Run python.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK - currently v14.32.17.2 and v10.0.22621.0.

You can list available versions with python.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe from output folder, first run setup.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be setup to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).

Setting up M1 Macs for x86 development with Homebrew

Key Points

  • In general, binaries built just for x86 architecture will automatically be run in x86 mode
  • You can force apps in Rosetta 2 / x86 mode by right-clicking app, click Get Info, check "Open using Rosetta"
  • You can force command-line apps by prefixing with arch -x86_64, for example arch -x86_64 go
  • Running a shell in this mode means you don't have to prefix commands: arch -x86_64 zsh then go or whatever
  • Don't just immediately install Homebrew as usual. It should most likely be installed in x86 mode.

Homebrew

Not all toolchains and libraries properly support M1 arm64 chips just yet. Although

Optimal sharpening strength (according to objective metrics) - 0.5. Can be applied only to luma channel (change OUTPUT to LUMA). To use it on-demand add the following line to input.conf: n change-list glsl-shaders toggle "~~/adaptive-sharpen.glsl"
