What os? What ide? What plug-ins?
You must log in or # to comment.
Linux, KDevelop, C++
Windows ME. Notepad.
Debian at home, Rocky Linux at work
VSCodium or Godot depending on what I’m working on.
Whatever language support via LSP is available for VSCodium, Prettier, I’ll have to check the rest. Nothing that drastically changes the experience. Basically whatever does auto formatting, code completion(without using “AI”), and error highlighting.
Are your projects in c#/dotnet?
Mostly python, shell, and GDscript these days.
I did C#/.NET stuff for a few years for $dayjob, but that was all on windows with visual studio
I see, do you think C#/dotnet is still going to be relevant? It seems like they keep getting better behind the scene and have matured to be more than just windows java. I have fallen off programming and am looking to give myself a project to get back. I was thinking of learning dotnet and using avelonia to make some guis.
I think C#/dotnet will be relevant on windows for a long time. Personally I’m done with that platform though. Dotnet being free and open source software is great though. There are some fantastic cross platform projects out there written in it, such as Jellyfin.

One reason why I am taking some interest, I primarily use Linux. Tho it does seem like its mostly MS that pays for the development and I do wonder if they might pull the plug and just focus on Windows. I wouldn’t want to start a project I can’t continue or focus on developing skills that are get tied back to a proprietary platform or something.
such as Jellyfin. TIL
OS: W11
IDE: Rider, Webstorm, VSCode and for legacy apps Visual Studio
Shell: Powershell w/ OhMyPosh, I find Powershell a hassle to use but I set it up once after seeing a colleague use it and kept it
I would like to point out that there are quite some Linux devs in the replies. I feel like I don’t belong here.
It’s a programming community, you’re programming, you’re fine.
Windows, Visual Studio, Telerik (why yes I’m forced to use this for work…)
I got started in dev work recently and have gotten used to this setup, I kinda want to learn vscode and host it on my server or something but I’m not really sure what kind of projects I can work on for myself, also not sure learning another IDE while learning in general is a great idea.
OS: Debian (Trixie)
DE: KDE Plasma
I use vim for light edits. Currently using VSCodium, but am slowly trying out Kate. I use codeberg as Version Control, and Konsole as the terminal.
I also have notepadqq (a native alternative to notepad++), but prefer vim and am also trying to switch to Kate.
At work my OS on my workstation is Windows 11. In an average month I use C#, C++, Python, and Javascript. I usually have at least one instance of VS code and VS pro open. I also use Rider because we use plug-ins for one project. Everything is pretty default except the layout I use.
At home my dev PC is rynning on Kubuntu and I use VS code as an IDE. I use whatever language fits the team/project. When I can choose I mainly use C# or Rust. After using C# at school and your first job outside of school, you get really fast at expressing yourself in C#.
For me my keyboard is an import because I want a consistent feel wherever I am. So for typing I use the same clicky switches on my coding keyboards with keycaps that have the same shape and profile.
Windows + Visual Studio :(
Glad I am not the only one :)
Do you find avelonia good to use? I’ve been taking interest in learning dotnet, but I typically have only needed to make CLI stuff in the past.
Unfortunately, the alternatives are really lacking. JetBrains Rider REALLY feels underbaked. No deal-breaking issues, but lots of little low-impact ones, and lots of design decisions that go against common conventions, for no apparent reason. The “Visual Studio Mode” doesn’t really help.
On top of that, I’ve had several issues with RUNNING Rider, on account of being on Bazzite, an immutable distro. It was fine on Mint, but Mint had its own troubles with my NVidia card.
Visual Studio also feels really urderbaked IMO. I had my issues with navigation, UI and Vim mode. Debugger experience with Edit and Continue was pretty amazing though.
That’s what I mostly use too
😂
I share this pain :(
OS: Arch DM: Niri Terminal: Kitty Editor: Helix
OS: Ubuntu IDE: IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin, VSCode for Scala, sometimes Helix for particular files
- OS:
- Arch Linux or OpenBSD, depending in how I feel
- Editor:
- Micro on Linux
- mg(1) on OpenBSD
- Plug-ins:
- Micro has support for a few linters, which is all I really need
- mg(1), meanwhile, doesn’t even have syntax highlighting
- Terminal:
- Kitty on Linux
- XTerm on OpenBSD
- Shell:
- Zsh on Linux
- ksh on OpenBSD
- Version Control:
- Git is the only realistic option (though Mercurial and Fossil are nice)
- Code Hosting:
- Usually Codeberg
- I also have sourcehut
- My Formula Student team uses GitLab
- My university and another society use GitHub 🤮
I usually licence my work under GPL if it’s a large project, or Beerware if it’s something smaller (or if it’s for internal use in one of my societies).
Any coursework I do, however, gets licenced under BSD-3-clause. For this, GPL would be too restrictive and Beerware would be too informal, and BSD-3-clause is a nice middle-ground (as far as I’m concerned).
- OS:
Gentoo, Neovim.
I should switch to Helix, if I ever find the time.
A messy bedroom.
Bazzite and Kinote though I use distrobox and k8s alot for messing with other distros/apps. Vscodium and neovim. Vscodium is loaded up with nearly anything IaC or kubernetes related and Continue for some AI stuff (pointed to local and mistrial). Also heavy opinionated stuff for Python like black, etc (I want my ide to yell at me to make better code). Some GitHub and git lab add-ons too. Nvim is just as is.
Varies a bit with job, but by far the most in the last 15 years:
Linux (Debian), Emacs, tiling window manager (i3/sway/stumpwm), also gollum wiki + org-mode for writing docs. For small quick edits, I use vim.
I use Arch in a VM, or (preferred) Guix package manager for tools that require newer versions of software.
On the job, I write mostly C++/Python/Go/Rust, at home more Rust, Python, and the Lisps.
Work (frequently some kind of embedded) uses also e.g. Ubuntu, OpenSuSE Leap, Gnome, eclipse, and so on.
What do you use rust for?
At work:
- geometric computations in a Performance-sensitive optimization algorithm that was drafted in Python. After confirmation, the whole algorithm was rewritten to C++, which was fine since it was part of a large science experiment
- rewriting / wrapping some middleware + APIs so that other people can transition new work to rust. The resulting interfaces turned out very pleasant to use!
At home:
- building command-line software for my Gemini PDA. This is an ARM device and Rust is far easier to cross-compile than C++.
- Implementing a larger optimization & solver algorithm (a few thousand lines) which I coded some time ago in Clojure. Very easy to parallize.
