I believe part of what makes the VS Code experience is the extension store. Is this managed in some way with this distributed flavor ?

I'm using VSCodium daily and most extensions work, with the notable exception of official MS-published extensions, which mostly require VSCode.
This might help.
For me, VSCode keeps screwing up file encodings in a legacy project i maintain. I tell it not to autoguess the encoding and define a specific encoding to use. VSCode ignores that and keeps autoguessing.
VSCodium honors the settings (and is a wee bit more private and open-source).
AFAIK you can download every extension as vsix file from vs code web marketplace and then import it into VSCodium. That's how I have been installing missing extensions so far and it works well.
Works perfectly
Been only using VSCodium for years. Really flawless.
Been using the flatpak, works great!
Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to switch for a while now but I never got to it
