IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux
IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux
Hello! My question is basically what the title says. I'm searching for an IDE/text editor for Go development and am wondering if anybody knows an alternative to these. Here is the list of software I tried:
-
I've tried NeoVim but I really don't want to waste time doing text-based configuration and messing with extensions just to get some basic features working.
-
I tried VSCodium but it doesn't exist in my system software repositories (I'm currently on Chimera Linux), and the flatpak version can't run any system commands.
-
GoLand and Sublime Text are proprietary & paid.
It seems the market for IDEs is pretty small, so I wouldn't really be surprised if nothing existed that fit these criteria, but thanks for any answers in advance!
Edit: I've settled with Lite-XL which seems to be a great editor. Thanks for all of your great recommendations!

By chimera Linux, do you mean the gaming one or this one?
Just curious
I meant the latter. I don't really like systemd and I loved FreeBSD for its simplicity but also can't use it on bare metal because of a lack of drivers, so this seemed like a great option.
Wow, it's actually daily driveable? Mind linking me the installation docs, I can't seem to find em...
Yup! The handbook is here.
Damn, I'm amazed at how pain-free the whole installation/setup process is. Everything sorta just worked. Though, I'm struggling a bit, trying to make zram service with dinit.
I didn't setup zram but just went for a swap partition and specified it in fstab, so I'm not sure how that works really. There are a few issues open in GitHub about it but there seems to be no activity on them.
