Thanks for taking the time to make this issue!

@TheOdinProject/installations any objections?

[ManonLef]

@wise-king-sullyman I don't have any objections. The prompt is quite likely to appear and it's a small addition. An alternative would be to precede with some additional commands before the wget and apt install and manually add the repository through the command line first, but in my opinion this may be too much at this point in the curriculum.

Hi, I’d like to request being assigned to this issue. I’m planning to add a brief note right after the ones on "typing passwords in the terminal" and N: Download is performed unsandboxed (...) with the suggestion to answer "<Yes>" for easier updates via apt. Please let me know if this approach sounds good!

@jmnjung it looks like @Anoop23xx requested to be assigned on this issue so he gets the assignment first if he still wants it, but if he doesn't I'd be happy to assign you 🙂

@Anoop23xx is this still something you would like to do?

[Anoop23xx]

yes would do it

Opening this back up for assignment.

• [ ] Add note saying it's fine to add a Microsoft repo for VSC to apt if asked, which will allow VSC to be updated alongside any system updates.

Please comment below if you'd like to be assigned. Please do not open a PR unless you have been assigned by a maintainer.
