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.

Hi! For the ones of you that use Trello, I made a simple to use and host alternative in PHP.

By default, none. You can install Google services, then your phone will use their proprietary NLP system.
You can also install microG (an application that pretends to be a Google service and connects to it, but sending minimal data, respecting your privacy) and then you will use MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP at the same time.
MozillaNLP: you send a list of WiFi networks around you to Mozilla over the Internet, you get location data
DejaVuNLP: a local database built on your phone. When a GPS location signal is available, DejaVu fetches the list of WiFi networks and adds this list of networks corresponding to the given GPS coordinates to its database for later use
And then, when someone (after years) comes across the post and sees that someone had the same problem, they can't solve their problem because the comments were deleted. This is ridiculous.
I'm the type of user who independently seeks information on internet forums before asking a question, because in 99% of cases, someone has already had the same problem as me.
I usually Google the phrase I'm looking for, adding the word "reddit" to it, and almost always get what I want. And I'll continue to do so until the Lemmy knowledge base is sufficiently expanded to replace the Reddit knowledge base.
