vscodium flatpak fonts are already fine; IME vscodium works with font scaling fine out of the box. There's a vscode flatpak issue: "Feature: add optional Wayland support" https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code/issues/471#...

The VSCode flatpak README has some solutions:

Otherwise, you could install the flatpak version from Flathub and that alias would start doing what it's intended to do: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.visualstudio.code

For VSCode, it looks like you need to do a little bit of work to get it working properly in Flatpak. Everything should work if you put in the elbow grease, but this is one of those examples where Flatpak makes things a bit funky for people unfamiliar with how it works, and it doesn't help that Microsoft doesn't officially support the Flatpak.

Please open issues under: https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code/issues This version is running inside a container and is therefore not able to access SDKs on your host system! To execute commands on the host system, run inside the sandbox:

VSCode versão 1.74.1 instalado via flatpak;

Back when I used a debian based distribution I made use of https://bedrocklinux.org/ to make use of the AUR. It's not for everyone though.

Now this is interesting... apparently it is possible to run Nix AKA "The Nix Package Manager" on Alpine -- despite the fact that Alpine is Busybox and Musl based and NixOS is Coreutils and Glibc based!

Well done Nix engineers and contributors!

(I may switch to Alpine w/Nix Package Manager in the future, depending on how well it works!)

Bedrock Linux: https://bedrocklinux.org/

Sure, just install Bedrock Linux and add the Arch stratum on top

There's a Bedrock Linux distro already...

Bedrock Linux. It is allows you to make a system out of various seemingly-incompatible parts of other distros. I haven't gotten around to trying it myself, but it's really cool.

If you want to actually use multiple distributions at once integrated tightly into each other (like using Ubuntu with AUR packages) I highly recommend https://bedrocklinux.org/. It uses some chroot and symbolic link magic to share files across filesystems.
