When starting vscode in a C# project I get this output from C# Dev Kit

Starting Spawn .NET server...

Alternatively you can set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support.

What helped was 1. using the fhs package and 2. the the settings tip. Thanks ^^
I now personally use:

"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.sharedExistingDotnetPath": "~/.nix-profile/bin/dotnet",
"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.allowInvalidPaths": true,
