From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm getting back into coding and I'm going to start with python but I wanted to see what are some good IDEs to write the code. Thanks in advance.

I use PyCharm for work but it's not FOSS or beginner-friendly. PyCharm does have a free community edition which is awesome if you're mostly into FOSS for the $0 aspect.

https://thonny.org/ - for the first few days of learning and easy setup
https://www.spyder-ide.org/ - especially good for data science
https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/ - full-featured general purpose IDE

Codium is fine and technically FOSS although it's association with Microsoft taints it for anyone who still hates MS from the bad old days. Also it's an Electron app.

As long as it has an integration for your language/framework of choice it’s the best imo

Will try, thanks.

Honestly, just try a few of the big ones and see what you like, I feel like with IDEs it's all about personal preferences and rarely about actual amount of features.

Good ones to start with can be PyCharm and vscodium, but try a few, that's the best option.

Ya ime it's mostly about what people are comfortable with. People who care about all the features :tm: go to emacs, people who want to use an instrument stick with vim, and old people use nano

Eclipse Theia if you already know VSCode.

It copied the interface and functionality and is compatible with most VSCode extensions. Available as an AppImage on Linux.

For Python definitely PyCharm.

Huh, the community edition is Apache 2 licensed. I had assumed it was proprietary freeware.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

That's news to me.

Netbeans for java was good to me as a student.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

For python PyCharm is unbeatable.
