I've used VS Code for a long time, but have recently grown weary of Microsoft's approach to OSS. I've checked out VS Codium which seems like it might be a great option.

What text editor are you using?

This was already asked in !programming@lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/53721

There is a big difference between an IDE and an editor!
An editor is much more simple, while an IDE offers complete project management and other tools!

[–] Helix@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Yes and no. The answers to both questions overlap.

[–] kromonos@fapsi.be 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Can be, but don't need.
The question in !programming@lemmy.ml assumes that the editor is used for programming. Here, however, the focus is on OpenSource and does not necessarily have anything to do with programming.

Sorry, i am the wrong guy for this, i only have few hours reading on SSH. My programming : fortrand, basic, c, python, was sporadic for some projects over the years, never was my main job !
PS : I know the size of an install by doing :
sudo apt install ******
this "******" being the name of the program you want to install, internet unplugged so the installation doesn't happen.

yes. I guess I thought that was how much storage it took up on a disk, but I'd like to know that before reading about what it does, how it works. Found this the other day and love it (for command line): │ps -eo cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%mem | head No need to install anything on Debian to use it.
