I tried downloading the .deb package of Visual Studio Code from here but for some reason it won't open. From Activities Overview if I select the program it shows up in the task panel on the left but it just blinks a few times then goes away. I would rather not have to use snap every time I want to download a program that wasn't specifically designed for UNIX system. Is this some kind of settings problem or privileges problem that has a simple fix?
EDIT: I figured this out, sorry to waste anyone's time.
@wisecracker It was a mistake on my part. Originally, I tried downloading the program from the 'Ubuntu Software' utility and that version was the one that did not work. Before downloading the .deb package from the link I provided I did try to uninstall the program inside of the 'Ubuntu Software' utility but apparently that didn't work either because it stuck around and ended up confusing me. When I thought I was starting the version of the program I installed via the .deb package what I was actually attempting to start was the same (non working) version of the program installed through 'Ubuntu Software'. Moral of the story, don't try to install software that is not UNIX based through the 'Ubuntu Software' utility.

I installed VSC on Ubuntu following these instructions and it installed just fine:
However, admittedly, I use VSC every day on MacOS based on UNIX and it works flawlessly; and I don't run VSC on Ubuntu because I like to develop on MacOS and port up to Ubuntu daily.
Works great! Flawless!
In my view, if you want to develop code, get a MacPro like mine
