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 VSCodium is a good option; it offers many extensions, and if you have already used VSCode, you will have no difficulty finding your way around.

@tech_guillaume I know of VSCode, but I haven’t ever used it. A few folks suggested VSCodium. It looks pretty cool.

@markwyner @tech_guillaume It is, by and large, an IDE for interpreted languages like Python and JavaScript imo.

When it comes to (long) build and deployment pipelines, it lacks compared to Visual Studio proper or Eclipse.

@ftranschel @markwyner yes it mainly support language as Python and JavaScript, but i also use it for Rust and C# and it's OK.

@tech_guillaume @markwyner I use it for rust as well, but I'd definitely refrain from building big projects in Codium. That's not what it's for.

@ftranschel @markwyner I think i'm not on that situation (Big project) so that why Codium is OK for me, i guess. Thank you for your feedback :)
