Is this still accurate? If so can you resolve the conflicts?

I believe the doc has been updated and the paths are new correct.

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\VSCodium is correct: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/9520f0a515e7e24802c92f885a0efb242fca3831/src/vs/platform/environment/node/userDataPath.js#L77

I find the Linux section has a bit too much verboseness.

@GitMensch VSCode is looking for both. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\VSCodium is the fallback if the variable APPDATA is empty. Yes, normally, they are equal. Since the code is looking for both places, I think it's good to have them both.

@GitMensch I believe we should close this PR.

I believe we should close this PR.

Done, if anyone finds that there is something to improve in the docs: please do it.
