I don't know, it's just my personal experience. I used the "OSS Code" fork for a few years on Archlinux but Python intellisense kept breaking when I needed it the most, often with one cryptic error or another. Sometimes I could fix it by switching to VSCodium, installing/uninstalling the `code-features` package, or some random config tweak, but at some point I just got tired of fighting the editor instead of coding.
