@markwyner I hate the stack it is built on, but VSCodium can have some awesome features (at work we use gitlab and I can check the CI without leaving the IDE)...
Edit: if you want a terminal one, helix is nice but (neo)vim can bring more features.@baalroga oohโฆHelix looks cool. I prefer a GUI editor. But I spend a lot of time in the terminal, so it might be nice to have both.
-
@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 thatโs how Iโm going to distribute my app.
-
@jannem great question. I should have mentioned that. For the first part of my career I used BBEdit. Then for many years I used Sublime Text before switching to Atom (only stopped because MS bought/sunset it ๐ก). Currently Iโm using Nova, which I love.
@markwyner
Haven't heard of Nova, so it's hard to say exactly what you are looking for. Perhaps Zed would be a good alternative? It's modern, fast, and has a similar batteries-included approach to code editing and debugging. -

@markwyner Why not both ^^ at work, I switch between Codium and helix, if I need less features

@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.

Iโm assuming I can use it without being harassed to use AI. Iโm gonna explore for sure because it looks close to what I want.

@baalroga yeah, thatโs what Iโm saying. Irrespective of the GUI editor I run with, Iโm def gonna check out Helix.

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

Developer friends. Iโm installing Linux on my old MacBook. What editor do you recommend?
Iโm going to port my macOS accessibility app, Ratio, to Linux. I want to get it right, so Iโm gonna build it there instead of on my MacBook.
Edit: I currently use Nova. Iโm also a designer so I love a pretty GUI. But Iโm very comfortable with CLI.
Yโall have so many great suggestions already. I appreciate you! ๐๐ป

@markwyner
I tested zed for a few weeks (and I still have it installed). It never once bugged me to add an AI account. Seems it's there if you want it, or can be completely ignored if you don't.In the end I am more comfortable with Vim so I returned there. But Zed was a good experience and I would happily recommend it for anyone looking for a polished editor.

@markwyner if you don't know vim, I find it more intuitive to use

@markwyner You can try one of many neovim setups, ex. LazyVim. Helix is โโalso a good choice, but it doesn't have a plugin mechanism,

@gpumoto you mean with Flatpack? Iโm 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.
