Update Linux pre-reqs #7343

Closed bamurtaugh closed 1 month ago

bamurtaugh commented 1 month ago

@roblourens highlighted that we list Python as a pre-req for Remote Development, but I'm not aware of any Python dependencies. I've removed the Python requirement from the table in the Linux pre-reqs section.

I've also added a link to the Docker configuration documentation in the "Dev Containers" section.

Based on the latest info in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/206790, I think we've made the necessary changes (i.e. glibc >= 2.28 and libstdc++ >= 3.4.25 are the right version requirements, even though online it seems like glibc 2.28 may be out of support as I only see down to 2.32 in lts docs).

@deepak1556 as you've driven a lot of the server versioning work, I'd love to get your feedback on the couple of changes I've made here and any other changes we might want to consider.
