How to use the Microsoft Extension Marketplace in VSCodium

If you are using an Arch based OS, you can use vscodium-bin-marketplace, an AUR package to do this automatically.
Using yay:

yay -S vscodium-bin-marketplace

Otherwise, you have to change the extension marketplace in VSCodium (by default Open-VSX) to the official Microsoft one in the product.json:

  1. Create a file in the config directory and name it product.json:
    The config directory is usually located at:
    -On Windows: %APPDATA%\VSCodium
    -On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/VSCodium
    -On Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/VSCodium or ~/.config/VSCodium
  2. Add the data
    In the empty file that you have just created, write the following text and save it.

      "extensionsGallery": {
        "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
        "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
      }
    }
    

Restart VSCodium:

Restart VSCodium for changes to take effect.
