Description
Following the discussion and suggestions from #6244, it would be great to add a feature to set a default kernel other than Python, especially for a workspaceless environment in Positron.
Additionally, having an option to override the workspace’s default (Python) kernel would be beneficial.

Done should include a defined way to choose a non-Python default kernel and override the workspace default in workspaceless environments.
