Research direction
Start by reviewing the VS Code settings sync documentation linked in the issue and the startup error shown in the screenshots, then compare the reported GNOME environment with the detected KDE password store. Done means identifying why GNOME is misdetected and confirming that settings sync no longer logs the user out.

Description
Ever since the last update, something broke which causes VSC to show an error like this at startup:
This causes me to be forcibly logged out of settings sync. Problem is, I use Gnome and have been using it for months.
What is going on?
Note: I've tried this resource: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync#_other-linux-desktop-environments but to no avail.
