                VSCode on SteamOS without Flatpak
              
          
    Installing VSCode on SteamOS without Flatpak

Notes


SteamOS locks down basically all directories outside of the /home directory

Hence, installs via pacman or the AUR are disabled by default, and will be deleted after each SteamOS upgrade


The installation steps below will install VSCode without Flatpak
Some things might not work well, such as browser hooks when logging into external services and extensions
