The problem

I've recently installed VSCode Insiders via the official RPM file from the website, similar to how I have standard VSCode installed.

I do not see the option to select Insiders from the dropdown.

Trying to use a "custom editor" and pointing it to the code-insiders file withing /usr/bin or /usr/share does not work.

Release version

Version 3.4.13-linux1 (x64)

Operating system

Fedora 42 (Gnome)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Install insiders
  2. Attempt to configure GH Desktop to utilize it
  3. Reboot
  4. Still cannot view

### Additional context

GH Desktop is installed via the flatpak version. Not sure how I managed to have VSCode appear but not insiders.
