Description
Type: Feature Request
The latest version of VS Code, when using Remote SSH to connect to a remote host, shows that the 2.17 glibc/libstdc++ version is too low or incompatible, causing the VS Code Server to fail to start. It is hoped that this issue can be fixed or a remote server compatible with lower versions can be developed.
Extension version: 0.120.0
VS Code version: Code 1.101.1 (18e3a1ec544e6907be1e944a94c496e302073435, 2025-06-18T13:35:12.605Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631
Modes: Unsupported
