https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/ is being actively kept up-to-date with VSCode's rolling releases and takes care to remove "the corporate/privacy nasties" while still retaining the (rather useful) extensions marketplace. Not a fork or port, just a "filtered build" (or build script if you want to diy). Worked without hiccups for me for over a year now (Linux). Updates come in a few days to a week after the original.
