IDEA: Fix SDK Manager and VSCode extension on Fedora 37 (completely non-functional)

I'm unable to run SDK Manager 4.1.7 from Fedora Linux 37.

I have unzipped the `sdkmanager.zip` and followed the steps here:

$./sdkmanager 
./sdkmanager: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# default java version
java-17-openjdk.x86_64 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-17.0.5.0.8-1.fc37.x86_64/bin/java)

There are no file hashes so I can't check the integrity of the dl (I've re-tried a few times, but this is just poor practice for Garmin, considering their security failures/breaches).

I have tried to relocate the /bin and /share files to ~/.local/{bin, share} and also to /usr/local/{bin, share} and tried to run ./sdkmanager from those locations with the same output.

Also, all the image files in the /share folder are *.png, while the sdkmanager is asking for libjpeg.

As for the VS Code Monkey C plugin has no options to locate sdkmanager, and verify install fails.

Not sure where to go from here. I want to get this running in Linux, rather than install through VM.

Any further suggestions to get this running in Linux natively (bare-metal or LXC/VM, Ubuntu/Debian, etc).

Thank you for any assistance.
