In all honesty, you should decide between Debian and Fedora. If you’re new to this, stay away from Arch Linux, Gentoo, or Manjaro. Simplicity is key. The two systems I mentioned are known for their reliability, so you should be fine with either one.
Indeed, I use VSCodium on my Fedora system every day, but since the question was about VSCode, I provided information specifically related to VSCode.
Debian rigorously tests its packages over an extended period before they are released in the official version, ensuring a very stable system. This approach means the software is generally older, but it’s been thoroughly vetted. Fedora, on the other hand, provides newer software while still maintaining a good level of stability.
On the other hand, Arch Linux — and its sub-distributions like Manjaro and Gentoo — releases software much more quickly, sometimes almost immediately which can kill your system during updates. I’d go so far as to say that Arch Linux is less stable than Windows.
TL;DR: If you don’t want to find out five minutes before an online meeting that your system won’t boot — avoid Arch Linux.

Most of the applications worked out of the box. For some I had to manually change the settings and/or environment variables to make them work on Wayland… And single ones did not work at all.
If it weren’t for the fact of these “single ones” I would have stayed on Wayland.
However, as long as I can’t use my system fully functionally, I remain on XOrg.

Hi! I’m looking for an SSH client for Android, but open source. Termius is great, but it’s closed source and has its subscription-based pricing model, so it’s out. I use ConnectBot rn but it’s buggy and looks awful. Would you recommend any?
