From a cursory glance, it looks like Amazon Linux 2 did not meet the minimum system requirements for a new version of VScode. In this situation, is only one party at fault? Is VScode to blame for not ensuring their software works with as many machines as possible, or is it Amazon Linux's issue for not bundling updated drivers? Or is it a bit of both?

Knowingly releasing the update that affects so many developers without informing the user that it may break their workflow until after you’ve already updated is on vscode. You can scroll up that thread to see people raising issues at least a week before release
