@saverio The one in the Community repo is the fully open source version, meaning it only has the open source base, and hasn't got direct access to proprietary elements like the marketplace.
This version has a commercial license, which is something you'll never see on anything in the official repos.
Hi dcelasun, is there any difference between this AUR maintained package and the one available in the official Arch Community repo? (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/code/)
As far as I can see, both Community and your AUR package have the same version...
I'm on arch 32Bit. I downloaded the snapshot and installed the package with makepkg -sirc. Everything worked fine. If I start either from the menu or with "code" from the terminal it starts but all I get is a blank screen. Did I missed something?
1.33.0-2 works! Thanks @dcelasun.
Sorry, fixed.

@melkopisi, @HerHde, there are plenty of solutions to this problem, all of them a quick search away. For example:
There should be more for other DEs as well.
Well, about the "inode/directory" link: It interferes with almost every software on my freshly installed system (Manjaro), including Nautilus and Firefox.
butother apps suggest open their file in visual studio code instead from nautilus like Android studio because it has the priority above nautilus to open folders
any idea how to fix this?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the license difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open source version.
Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If there is no new version on that page, it's not yet released. A tag on Github is NOT a release! If you can see the new version on the updates page but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within a day or two.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-openuses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install shared-mime-info-gnome. Also see this reddit thread.
Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on Github.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
