Summary0009241: Visual Studio Code - zsh: Segmentation Fault
Description

Build info:
Linux 6.12.33+kali-arm64 #1 SMP Kali 6.12.33-1kali1 (2025-06-25) aarch64 GNU/Linux
Running on apple M2 via Vmware Fusion 13.6.3

VS Code crashes on start. I've tried removing/purging and reinstalling, but still have the same issue. Additionally, trying the microsoft build of VS Code requires a dependency that's unavailable in the main channel for me (I forget exactly what it was - something like libasound).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
