I've been trialing linux as the main OS on my desktop (mixed games/not-games usage) for a couple of weeks by booting off an external SSD, and am likely at this point to just go all-in and install on my m2.nvme and be done with win11 for good.

Does anyone I know on here have any recommendations for a good visual studio / vscode replacement? I'd prefer to avoid MS as much as possible, so no linux vscode.

Would be mostly looking for a mix of python, lua, glsl, hlsl. Maybe some php, js, ts, etc

@rejj I do very lightweight hobby coding (PICO-8 Lua mostly), but I like using Phoenix.

The text editor designed to make coding as simple and fun as playing a video game

@rejj I’m playing with Zed (AI will cure cancer!). There are various open source versions of VS Code, but there are often issues with plugin licensing. Finally, there’s Antigravity (AI will cure cancer!), which Google probably did a decent job of yanking out all Microsoft bits from. It’ll have the same plugin problems but it has a better chance of getting sufficient critical mass to avoid them, at least until next week when Google arbitrarily cancels the project. Lot of people still love Jetbrains.

@rejj jetbrains’ stuff is the best in town. It feels intimidating when you’re starting out but it’s difficult to go back from when you’ve have full structural refactoring and the kinds of deep integration and toolsets it gives you
