Visual Studio Code on Slackware 15.0 (without Telemetry) for use with RPi Pico C/C++ SDK

I'm getting started with C programming using the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK, and there is no problem with the required basic toolchains being used on Slackware 15.0, but to do real-time debugging with a probe, a special version of OpenOCD must be built. OK, that seems reasonable, and I have no problem doing that. However, it seems I also need VS Code.

The online guides have me adding the Cortex-Debug extension (as well as C/C++) to VS Code. Then point VS Code to where OpenOCD is.

My question is, would the tarball at https://code.visualstudio.com/download work ok, or is it better to try to convert the old SBo package from 14.x?

Then, how to disable MS Telemetry?

Here is one guide for what I'm doing (Debian-centric) -
