This allows developers to use a clean version of the editor without any Microsoft-specific customizations or tracking components.

•Open Source: VSCodium is built from the same source code as Microsoft's VS Code but is licensed under the MIT license.
•No Telemetry: All telemetry and tracking features are disabled, ensuring a privacy-focused experience.
•Cross-Platform: Available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
•Easy Installation: Can be installed via various package managers, including Homebrew, WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, Snap, and more.
