'.deb' file - Broken link in downloaded file.

[XandaPanda42]

Describe the bug
When attempting to install the '.deb' file, the package manager (opens in Ubuntu App Center) shows a description that includes a link to "https://vscodium.com/docs/setup/linux". [Image 01]

Clicking the link itself doesn't open it, but pasting it as text into a browser shows a missing page. [Image 2]

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

• This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

• I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download the 'x86 .deb' release of 1.95.3.24321.
2. Open in a package manager of some kind. (App center on Ubuntu is where it was seen first.)
3. Check the package description for the broken link.
4. Copy link into browser.
5. See error.

Expected behavior
The link should direct users to a Docs page with instructions and common issues with installation.
A decent replacement could be to have it direct to "https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium?tab=readme-ov-file#install-with-package-manager-gnulinux"?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Architecture: x86
• Version: 1.95.3.24321
• App Manager: Listed as "App Center" in Ubuntu, but could be Snap based. Unsure.
• Sandboxed: Unsure.

Additional context
Probably a low priority issue, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

The Ubuntu App Center has a snap version of Codium, but is listed as an earlier version (1.93.0.24253) so I got the latest .deb release directly from here instead.

I can confirm the issue.

The link should have being replace by:

vscodium/prepare_vscode.sh

Line 228 in 7ca11a2

sed -i 's|https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux|https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium#download-install|' resources/linux/debian/control.template

It's in the .deb.

I've pushed the edge version to stable. Few months ago, we did have an issue with the snap, so I've switched to edge for testing. I've forgot to switch back. It's done, now.

Ah! It's a conflict with line 226... so dumb!

Perfect, thanks :-)

I'm kinda new to Github so I'm not really sure what's going on haha. Let me know if I need to close the issue and if I need to write anything? I'm not certain what the process is sorry.
