Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I am not a big fan of binaries that microsoft redistributes, they contain some crap I don't really want like telemetry which makes it nonfree software. VSCodium is a good approach to fix it. It builds open source binary without microsoft stuff and uses open source extension store.
However, gitpod "open in vscode" does not open workspace in VSCodium, simply nothing happens.
So here is my suggestion, open workspace in VSCodium
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried ssh but it wasn't as smooth and easy.
