Are you using an official build of VS Code?

I build it locally on my linux system

Ah, ok. That's the problem. Pylance only works in official builds of VS Code.

If using an official build isn't an option, you could try using Pyright instead. It doesn't have as many features as Pylance, but it works in any editor that supports LSP.
