I just had an issue with the vscodium flatpak, been using it for two months with no issue in an online course, got to learning GUIs, import module, doesn’t exist. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t there, installed three different python versions of it three different ways, still nothing. Couldn’t even get vscodium to point to a different interpreter that I knew was there (yet it doesn’t say it’s not there, just that some things won’t work). Still nothing. Three hours later, after trying everything I could think of, I realized that it was because I installed the flatpak version when it clicked that it worked in Geany and I didn’t have python 3.13 in my repos, yet that was the only one I could see in vscodium.
Flatpak is amazing especially with storage being so cheap these days.
OK, Satan.
Just replying to keep the vibes going.
I still remember the bad old days of stale repositories and compiling from scratch. Never again.

That sounds like user error.
From a broad enough perspective, everything is user error
Vscodium isn’t in the repos for opensuse, but yes, this user should have found a way to install it on bare metal in the first place.
Have you tried butterflies?
