In my work I have been told that need to use Fedora, I use vs code and when I want to update I got redirected to download a .tar.gz file. What is the right way to install the newer version?

Well it seems I have found the answer for my particular issue according to this issue from the official github repository it seems that there is a delay with the RPM packages, so waiting for them to upload the packages, a few days usually, and then run dnf upgrade code will do the trick

Download the latest .rpm from the official website. And run rpm -Uvh xxx.rpm to update vs code.

I just used this method to update my vs code.

I'm having the same issue on OpenSuse 42.3. I did locate an RPM which updated the version but VS code continues to tell me that there is an available update. I used the instructions to add the repository and then install for my first install but Yast (update manager) does not suggest there is a update available. So I used a RPM I found on the MS site.

Hope someone can solve this issue for the both of us!
