I managed to login.

I think I figured it out. Instead of running IntelliJ from a desktop icon, I ran it from the command line using the idea script. So I think this gave IntelliJ a newer node.

Ubuntu's default node is very old:

❯ /usr/bin/node --version
v12.22.9

But in my shell, I use nodenv to get a newer node:

❯ node --version
v18.9.1

So yeah, it would be nice if the Copilot plugin did a version check on node and gave users an appropriate error message.
