[16:35:33.266] ------
I tried deleting the code-<hash> binary downloaded in the remote machine, set port explicitly on the remote machine, there's no other logs nor any other tips have worked. I've noticed it tries connecting to a None port and a Local Server: Exit 15. I can login into the remote environment just fine using ssh so I know for a fact this is NOT an issue of my current ~/.ssh/config
You could at least learn how to do a god damn propper logging to tell the user wtf is going on and let them debug their end, Resolver error: Error is NOT proper logging.
So much telemetry and bloatware over monaco and for what? Typical "Microsoft" quality software, garbage to the end 🤦 absolute coding circus.
Expected Behavior
SSH working P.E.R.F.E.C.T.L.Y like it works when doing ssh fplinux@serverIP
Actual Behavior
No SSH, no login, just and endless loop of "Retry Connection" and "Read our stupid logs"
Steps To Reproduce
- Install OpenSUSE Slowroll (headless)
- Install Visual Studio Code via flatpak (or snap, tried both)
- Attempt to SSH into remtote OpenSUSE Machine
- Get stuck into an endless cycle of clowny messages
Anything else?
🤦 one has to wonder what kind of brainworm infested developers to make this the most used text editor.
Oh, to add more INRI to the cause:

VSCodium, the fork without microshit telemetry DOES connect FLAWLESSLY which is kind of ironic given that's a downstream project.
If they work like this on a simple Text Editor, you have to wonder the kind of quality Windows users expect in their Operating System, absolute bogus 🤡
Oh, even MORE INRI for this case. The extension https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh for VSCodium works without errors. Unfortunately, installing it by hand on Visual Studio Code does nothing, all options and usage are blocked from the UI and command palette. So if you are on Visual Studio you are stuck with this extension...
If you are going to force users into your flawed tools, at least make them work with no mistakes 🤦 clown attempt of developers.
