When prompted, prefer flathub.

Podman

dns install -y podman

Gear Lever

I would recommend you install Gear Lever to manage App Images:

flatpak install it.mijorus.gearlever

VSCode

Write code.

DNF

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_rhel-fedora-and-centos-based-distributions

rpm-ostree

This layers vscode on the system and lets you download the latest release without waiting for flathub to update the flatpak. Offers some advantages over flatpak, like not needing to use flatseal/other to manage host permissions, but the flatpak install works just fine.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_installing-rpm-package-manually

Download the rpm
sudo rpm-ostree install ./vscode-something-something.rpm
Reboot

Flatpak

flatpak install com.visualstudio.code

Add to settings.json so the host shell is spawned

{
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "/app/bin/host-spawn",
            "args": ["bash"],
            "icon": "terminal-bash",
            "overrideName": true
        }
    }
}

Add these keyboard shortcuts to allow forward and back with alt:

[
    ...
    { "key": "alt+left",         "command": "workbench.action.navigateBack" },
    { "key": "alt+right",        "command": "workbench.action.navigateForward" },
    ...
]

Bitwarden

## pre defined presets
# -1 = default
#  0 = no display

(Do this with Bambu Studio closed, it'll overwrite if it's open.)

{
    "user_access_code": {
        "printer serial number": "access code here"
    },
    ...
}

You'll need to open port 2021 udp
