As Microsoft has deemed my just-barely-too-old Win10 laptop is unable to upgrade to Win11, I am preparing to migrate that laptop to Linux Mint. I see the VS Code download page has downloads for Linux, and it specifically mentions Ubuntu (for the .deb package). I understand that Mint is a fork of Ubuntu and, therefore, I suppose the .deb package will install and work fine on Mint. But I am a total Linux noob, so I don't know if there are peculiarities that might upend my assumptions. And, even if VS Code installs and works fine on Mint, is it an automatic given that the Code for i extensions will as well?
