Since I was doing raylib work in c/c++ I took the time to set up VSCode to compile and debug.

Since I was doing raylib work in c/c++ I took the time to set up VSCode to compile and debug. Its not as good as Xcode but it very useable. It will make my transition to Linux easer. Next step is buying a good laptop. My old Linux one is dead.

@grumpygamer Only tip I have for you is to use lldb for debugging on linux, not gdb. Gdb is light years slower on linux and I have no idea why.

@grumpygamer tried one from @slimbook and was awesome!

@grumpygamer Have you tried CLion before? I find it a lot better then Xcode and it is cross platform (including Linux)

@grumpygamer Remember - it's not the editing capabilities that are important. You can write code with any old editor. It's the debugging features that matter.

@TomF @grumpygamer đź’Ż It might be worth to consider CLion, or Rider. The latter once JetBrains finally adds CMake support to make it the IDE for all game dev instead of the current subset of Unity, Unreal and a few big in-house engines.

@grumpygamer there’s a lot to cover here: why are you transitioning to Linux? Which laptop will you pick? What distro? And why are you this low level with game dev (using C I mean and raylib)? 🤓

@grumpygamer I got a Lenovo T14 gen 6 AMD for work, and it works pretty well. I heard good things about the Framework laptops too, and I think their community is pretty helpful if you have any issue.
Don't forget to check ubuntu.com/certified to check if a given laptop has been certified with Ubuntu (it usually is a good sign that things will work great with any distros, although it's not a given, especially with recent hardware).

@grumpygamer I code on multiple operating systems and it's so liberating to have the same IDE with you, with different extensions/toolchains active. Even remote editing via SSH (it auto-runs a server component in userspace) is fantastic.

@grumpygamer maybe @tuxedocomputers would be a good choice for you. They build great #linux laptops - especially with Linux gaming in mind.
