Hey,

I have codium install (FLOSS version of vscode, striped of all telemetry & stuff).

I can't manage to make ollama launch vscode detect it and run with it? How is the detection done? How can I make it work with codium?

Why not propose a ollama launch codium instead/in addition to ollama launch vscode?

ThaNks in advance

After digging into ollama's code, I found this line:
06ae6367bd/cmd/launch/vscode.go (L41)

Apparently, ollama looks for /usr/bin/code.

So a simple workaround is to create a symlink from codium to code by running:
sudo /usr/bin/codium /usr/bin/code
