When you run Visual Studio Code after installing it, you might encounter the following error:

---

You are trying to start Visual Studio Code as a super user which isn't recommended. If this was intended, please specify an alternate user data directory using the `--user-data-dir` argument.

---

#code [working directory] --user-data-dir='.' --no-sandbox

Now Visual Studio Code runs smoothly:
