Flatpak installs are from Flathub unless otherwise noted.

Add flathub with:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

When prompted, prefer flathub.

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

1. Download the rpm
2. sudo rpm-ostree install ./vscode-something-something.rpm
3. 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" },
    ...
]
