Hello,

I installed Ubuntu a few months ago on my work laptop and I’ve been running and loving it since.

However, I am used to VsCode, so this is what I am using in Ubuntu as well.

So I am curious, what kind of coding so you do? And what is your workflow.

I am an embedded firware developper and mainly use C. I am cross compiling my code in VsCode for a FPGA from Xilinx (dual core arm + PL)

Never dove into make files and cmake more than what I needed in the past, but I had an opportunity to learn CMake and build a project from it.

So my workflow is :

  1. Code in VsCode
  2. Build in CMake
  3. Transfer the app through scp on the target with a custom script (target is running petalinux, which is yocto + Xilinx recipes)
  4. Use gdb server to debug the code.

It’s a pretty simple workflow, but I’d like to know what you guys are running so that I can maybe upgrade my workflow.

    I tend to prefer Jetbrains editors (CLion, Rider, WebStorm) for projects, and just nano/micro for config editing and such…

    Java dev, running opensuse Tumbleweed with KDE.

    IntelliJ IDEA, maven, git, postman

    Kate for quick edits and note taking works very well

    Konsole is my terminal of choice

    Teams for Linux because I have to

    docker on the command line because there’s no docker desktop for Linux. There is for windows and MacOS tho, although Linux is literally the thing where it runs on the kernel and whose concepts the whole thing is based upon. Fuck them.

    Kind of sad to see still lack (for Linux in general) of apps that are often used in companies. E.g. Teams and docker desktop

        I have now and I’m loving podman desktop! All I wanted was a quick and easy way to stop/start/delete running compose clusters, and podman desktop detected all my running docker compose containers and displayed them with the familiar tree-like UI with individual or global controls to play/stop or delete.

        Thanks! :)

      Teams for Linux sucks and is not maintained anymore. Devs recommend using the web app and this is what I’m using in Chrome, works really well. Otherwise I’m also on Tumbleweed KDE :)

          If I’m not mistaken, this app is just a wrapper for the web app.

          I had a lot of issues with wayland and that app.

            Indeed this is the description I find on Discover:

            Unofficial Microsoft Teams client for Linux using Electron. It uses the Web App and wraps it as a standalone application using Electron.

            The advantage compared to teams.microsoft.com (at least when I load it in Firefox), is that it has many more features, since I guess it’s using an “Edge” user agent, which unlocks stuff that is not enabled for FF. For example, I can have 1:1 calls (yeah, I know…) and blur my background or even set a background pic, all things I can’t really do on FF.

            On the other hand, screen sharing works unreliably (at least in a Wayland session, X11 is fine). I’ve reported a bug to KDE since I assumed it’s a kwin issue, but I should test it with a gnome wayland live medium as well…

    • Code in VSCodium
    • Code in Kate to keep thing fresh
    • Code in Nvim because I still need to learn it
    • Cry while debbuging a React app because the error messages aren’t very good
    • Wish I were working with Svelte or had enough backend experience to switch to being a backend dev
    • Play with terminal configs and shell scripting to distract myself from my woes
    • Rinse and repeat.

    Aside from the (not so much) jokes, give VSCodium a try, it’s to VSCode what Chromium is to Chrome, and works just as well.

      I will look into VSCodium. I’ve heard a little about it, but I couldn’t tell you what is the difference between the two.

        Microsoft develops vscode as open source, but compiles it with proprietary telemetry tooling.

        VSCodium compiles from the same source code but without the telemetry

            They are, but some might not be available from the extension store. Usually copying from vscode extensions folder works with no issues in my experience, but search the Codium store first just in case.

    Transfer the app through scp […]

    I use an ad-hoc while loop in a shell with inotifywait to wait for changes in the watched directory and then scp it.

      That’s clever. I’m not used to shell scripting yet, but I really like that it is easy to automate things in Linux. If you can run it in terminal, you can script it.

    For python:

    • Pycharm with integrated git For web dev and game dev:
    • vscode with GitHub desktop or integrated git, XAMPP if I’m doing back end
