Try running it from the command line with code --disable-gpu.

If that works, you can update the desktop shortcut files (exec section) with the same added parameter.

I recently ran into something similar (opensuse slowroll//kde)

Ref: stackoverflow/Google for the --disable-gpu argument, the desktop file editing - I did for convenience.

Here's how you can find . desktop files

Desktop file reference.- easy format

First, thank you! Sadly, this didn't help. In ended up deleting (renaming) ~/.config/Code which helped. Luckily enough all the plugins survived because they are installed under ~/.vscode

That's interesting. I am on GNOME/Wayland and the above flag helped.
