VS Code Linux support

[fooblahblah]

I'm running Arch Linux and spent a bit trying to install the extension, but it would never appear in the extensions list nor could I get the command ext install ex3ndr.llama-coder to work. I ended up switching to my little Macbook and it installs just fine via an extension search.

So, does llama coder work on Linux?

Works for me using Mint. No issues.

@christian-saldana Interesting. Not why it wasn't available...

I too got it on the work mac ok, but I am trying on a 12+ year old ubuntu laptop with 24.04 ubuntu without luck getting extension to load. does it need AVX2 support maybe on a new cpu?

user@computer:~$ egrep -i 'AVX2|fma' /proc/cpuinfo 
user@computer:~$ 

I mention this as I ran into this getting continue.dev going in vscode and we saw some issues with older cpu's not supporting the needed index functions on linux correctly.

• reference AVX

In case somebody else runs into this, are you running vscode open source edition? This one has a different source for Addons. Check for product.json file of your installation:

"extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
