Linux IDE
-
I recently installed ubuntu on a spare computer (Surface Pro 3)and have been playing with it. I'm familiar with Linux in general and used it extensively in the past. Now I need to get some programming done, specifically desktop engineering apps wit graphics, like graph and fluidstreamline map displays. What is the best IDE for that purpose? I foresee most coding will be in c/c++. CQ de W5ALT

I haven't done C++ development on Linux but eventually hope to, at which point I'll probably go for this: Running Visual Studio Code on Linux[^]. A lot of folks on this site like VS Code, but I'm still on VS2022, mostly because my project has over 800 source files and I don't want to bang my head against a new build process.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.I tried VsCode. It's in the Ubuntu repository. Unfortunately I couldn't get even Hello World to compile and run, so I went back to gedit and gcc/g++. Now I need to find out how to do graphics drawing. I finally settled on Lazarus/freepascal. It's just like Delphi, which I used to use extensively. software is running and drawing graphics nicely now. Allbeit in Pascalrather than C++;

I know this is old but in case it helps anyone, look at [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org).
The reply immediately above yours, posted back in March, already mentioned Eclipse. And resurrecting an old thread to post a link immediately looks suspicious. I had to resort to Google to double-check that the link you posted is the real Eclipse site, and not some spam knock-off.
