I’ve installed https://vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com/dbazure/download/insider/3e41bfbe49c8ba3165dfcd3ab54db75430950774/code-insiders-1.88.0-1711484226.el8.x86_64.rpm using the instructions available at vscode-docs/docs/setup/linux.md at 463630e70436308da191b917656571c7afb78797 · microsoft/vscode-docs · GitHub :

However,
