Fix: Can't use zsh in vs-codium issue

I recently run into an issue, I wanted to use zsh instead of sh or bash in the vs-codium terminal, I installed it as a flatpak.

Understand the problem:

• The Flatpak app runs in an isolated sandbox;
• It can't access your real shell (/usr/bin/zsh) directly.

Solution:

• you need host-spawn to bridge between sandbox and host system.

How to Check if You're Using Flatpak

flatpak list | grep codium 

If you see output like: com.vscodium.codium, you are using the Flatpak version

If You Are Using the Flatpak Version:
1- Install host-spawn:

sudo apt install flatpak-xdg-utils flatpak override --user --filesystem=host com.vscodium.codium 

2- Update your settings like (ctrl + shift + P, open user settings (json) ):

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh", "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": { "zsh": { "path": "/app/bin/host-spawn", "args": ["zsh"], "icon": "terminal-bash", "overrideName": true } } 

Good luck :)
