I’ve been trying to configure my VS Code terminal environment to be like my default terminal environment, but it’s been very difficult. For starters, I can’t use zsh, I had to use bash instead, and also, it doesn’t seem to have access to a lot of directories and binaries. lsing /usr/bin and /usr/lib has a significantly shorter output than when I ls them in the default terminal.

I know this has probably to do with the fact that I’m working on my school’s desktop, which is a very controlled environment (e.g. we can’t use sudo, and we have to install packages with their own package manager, with a very limited selection), but I want to know if there’s a workaround for this.

I’m on Ubuntu Linux, and I’m using the flatpak version of Code.
