Then connection seems to keep failing, eventually asking to reload window.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Expected behavior requires extension "Remote Development"

I did a bunch of things including removing the ~/.vscode-server-insider folder on remote

Issue does not happen anymore.

Removing ~/.vscode-server on remote didn't fix it for me, what exactly are those "bunch of things" @GuillaumeDesforges ?

Honestly, this can be caused by so many different things... If removing ~/.vscode-server did not do the trick, I guess you need more investigation.

To answer properly your question: I don't know anymore.

Note: I'll close this one issue since I got it fixed and it did not happen to me anymore, feel free to open a new issue if you encounter the same problem.

Simply trying to re-connect fixed it as I didn't find any file to delete.
