- VSCode Remote-SSH extension requires glibc 2.28+, causing issues for legacy Linux systems.
- Official workaround is time-consuming; this project provides pre-compiled artifacts for easy patching.
- Steps to patch: Check kernel version with `uname -r`, download matching tarball from Release Page.
- Extract tarball to a custom path, ensuring directory structure includes `init.sh` and `patchelf`.
- Add `eval "$(your/custom/path/init.sh)"` to shell profile (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `/etc/profile`).
- Request missing artifacts by creating an issue if your OS/kernel/arch isn't supported.
