Mark Wyner Won’t Comply Mar 18

Developer friends. I’m installing Linux on my old MacBook. What editor do you recommend?

I’m going to port my macOS accessibility app, Ratio, to Linux. I want to get it right, so I’m gonna build it there instead of on my MacBook.

Edit: I currently use Nova. I’m also a designer so I love a pretty GUI. But I’m very comfortable with CLI.

@markwyner I have been using Vscodium. It takes a little time to set up but it is OK... It is in the Flatpack repo.

I had an issue with my imac randomly rebooting so when I switch it off I also turn off the power strip.

@gpumoto nice. I want to play with the Flatpack experience, too. Primarily because that’s how I’m going to distribute my app.

@markwyner The whole update over the Repo manager is pretty cool.

I have to say the Repo manager is great, It automatically pulls all updates. System and programs, pretty cool way to keep everything updated.

@gpumoto you mean with Flatpack? I’m so new to this. I have lots to learn.

@markwyner Ubuntu/Kubuntu... are based on Debian and have a built-in package manager to install updates. It is a Repository manager like command line apt-get where you install updates and programs.

So, package manager and repository manager are interchangeable.

You add Flatpack to your repository manager as a new repository.

If you are new to Linux you should look for a mature Distro with a LTS.

@gpumoto thank you! That’s super helpful.

@markwyner @gpumoto Definitely look for a mature distro. Debian Stable wins in this area. It's thoroughly tested and rock solid. Also over 50K packages in its stock repository. It's also one of the most supported distros too.
