That's because that command isn't available in Debian, which Q4OS is based on. You need to install a couple of pkgs for it to work, and then, some PPAs might not work at all; Debian removed support for PPAs some time ago. Read here https://itsfoss.com/add-apt-repository- … not-found/

I'm not sure, but I think VSCodium has a live server https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases however, the appimage version seems to be the only one with 32 bit support, the .deb is only for x64, just like the atom one is too.

Hope this helps!
