VS Code Is Broken On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Microsoft’s latest VS Code update has broken the application on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, leaving many in a bind and looking for solutions since there was no warning of a potential issue.
VS Code is a popular development tool on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is past its default support period but is still supported via Canonical’s extended support options. According to OMG! Ubuntu, the issue is caused by VS Code 1.86 making glibc 2.28 a requirement. Ubuntu 18.04, however, still has glibc 2.27.
