`terminal.integrated.shell.linux` setting is deprecated

[FlorianLudwig]

The flatpak-warning.txt provides the following advice:

To make the Integrated Terminal automatically use the host system's shell,
you can add this to the settings:

  {
    "terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/usr/bin/env",
    "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": ["--", "flatpak-spawn", "--host", "bash"]
  }

To which vs code answers:

This is deprecated, the new recommended way to configure your default shell is by creating a terminal profile in #terminal.integrated.profiles.linux# and setting its profile name as the default in #terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux#. This will currently take priority over the new profiles settings but that will change in the future.

Making the final few tweaks to my flatpak VSCode today and I found that this worked.

The whole quote is:

To make the Integrated Terminal automatically use the host system's shell,
you can add this to the settings:
{
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn",
            "args": ["--host", "--env=TERM=xterm-256color", "bash"]
        }
    }
}

You only need the first JSON key for it to work. Though I believe this solution kinda breaks the idea of security in Flatpak.

terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux doesn't accept anything besides "bash" despite you add different profiles under terminal.integrated.profiles.linux. In my case, my settings.json is like below and I can't make zsh the default:

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn",
            "args": ["--host", "--env=TERM=xterm-256color", "bash"]
        },
        "zsh": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn",
            "args": ["--host", "zsh"]
        },
        "fish": {
            "path": "fish"
        },
        "tmux": {
            "path": "tmux",
            "icon": "terminal-tmux"
        },
        "pwsh": {
            "path": "pwsh",
            "icon": "terminal-powershell"
        }
    },

i think its time to add toolbox inside the flatpak with vscode so devs don't have to use their host machines terminal anymore....

Maybe a OS with toolbox preinstalled and use toolbox with "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux"?
