  • download VS Code as a .tar.gz from https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/#linux
  • rename $HOME/.config/Code-Insiders/ (if you have it) to something else so we get a fresh start
  • unpack in a folder somewhere, be sure to have all permissions set to the current user and not root or anything like that
  • go to where you have unpacked vscode-insiders and look for the resources/app/extensions folder and rename it to extensions1 and create a new extensions folder - this should make it that vs-code runs without any 3rd party and without any built-in extensions
