This is likely a permissions issue with flatpak, try installing using deb or rpm: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

This would cause the same error. these packages are installed system-wide, so doing that would require admin as-well.

the only way to install without admin, is by using a vscode tarball.

Yeah, tarball might be the only solution for this. Usually the extension would fallback to sudo to write to these directories, however it seems like this Linux distro doesn't have the usual sudo apps.

[Baturax]

yes tarball is best choice but it would be good for flatpak too when i run musl bsed distro i have install vscode from fflatpak

[Katsute]

This isn't something that can be fixed because it doesn't use the usual sudo apps that the other linux distros use, as a workaround you can try adding write permission manually to the directory in the error.
