After an hour or so of being logged in, plasmashell eats 100% of a core.  I'm not the only one this has happened to:  https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=121533

I know, file a bug (maybe one day if I have a few hours to spare debugging and getting a backtrace).  It's just annoying that this has been around for a couple years and the best solutions I see are "try disabling [pretty much everything]".

"Visual Studio Code is the first code editor, and first cross-platform development tool - supporting OSX, Linux, and Windows - in the Visual Studio family."

How can they possibly comply with all the licenses if they ship with something like Ubuntu? It is their responsibility (not Canonical's) to comply with the licenses, which means shipping source code for GPLv2 software (download link is not sufficient), among a gazillion other license requirements. Did customers get some physical media or "the offer" (https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-guide.html) with their keys?
