For me rust-gdb was not installd under /usr/bin/rust-gdb but rather under ~/.cargo/bin/rust-gdb.
Regardless setting it to "miDebuggerPath": "rust-gdb", worked for me as rust-gdb is in PATH

I guess it should be on the PATH.
I've updated it to "miDebuggerPath": "rust-gdb"

While still not par with window's cppvsdbg, rust-gdb has some advantages over lldb, specially when inspecting an enum type.
Make sure you have the
ms-vscode.cpptoolsextension installed in order to test it.
