I found the migration von VSCode to VSCodium to be the easiest (again on Mac) by symlinking

  • ~/vscode to ~/vscode-oss
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Code to ~/Library/Application Support/VSCodium

and be done with it: VSCode and VSCodium look and feel exactly identically, I didn't yet try to launch them concurrently at the same time.

… Oh, and I aliased code to be codium, so I won't accidentally fire up VSCode while VSCodium might be already running. — At the time of writing this, VSCode is still installed, but it might be gone rather sooner than later.
