I was experiencing the same issue (spawn ENOTDIR) on native Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. Turned out to be due to node being installed as a snap package.

I replaced the snap package with an nvm node installation and the extension stopped crashing on startup.

In case anyone needs the steps to replace the snap package:

sudo snap remove node
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash # Security risk. You should download and inspect the script before running it, instead of piping it directly into your shell.

Close and reopen your shell to set the PATH variable correctly to nvm.

Then install node:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts
nvm alias default 'lts/*'

Restart vscode.

I have the same error, but didn't have the snap package installed, rather an old apt version. Nonetheless, I followed the instructions above to user-install nvm and node separately, but I still have the same erorr:
