From https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono

On Linux:

Open a terminal and run the following:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/raw/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/master/install_manual.sh)"

Visual Studio Code
From the File menu (Code on Mac) go to Preferences → Settings, or use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+, (Cmd+, on Mac).
In the Editor: Font Family input box type JetBrains Mono, replacing any content.
To enable ligatures, go to Editor: Font Ligatures, click Edit in settings.json, and copy this line "editor.fontLigatures": true into json file.

Well, need to dig further in your environment, because to me it seems unlikely related to VSCode.

Any extension? Try to start VSCode with extensions disabled.
