C# on linux using Visual Studio Code (April 2023)

The following link offers a download of Visual Studio Code for Linux

It offers me an RPM file (120M) and then takes me to the above getting started link.
I do this:
su
dnf install code-1.77.1-1680651749.el7.x86_64.rpm
They want you to watch their instructional videos. They miss the most important thing, namely how to launch it. It turns our typing "code" at the command line does the trick. (It turns out this is /usr/bin/code which is a symlink to /usr/share/code/bin/code). The videos are pretty bad. The guy could use a better microphone -- and the first thing he tells you do do is to type "Command-O", but my keyboard has no command key. Is he working on a Mac?
Feedback? Questions? Drop me a line!
