You know, It's time I play with VSCodium again.
I used it for a long time but ended up having issues with the SSH plugin and the Python support that forced me to go back to regular VSCode. But that was so long ago they surely fixed it by now...
what did you use instead, especially for Python?
I asked in a random thread about linux IDEs, thinking there'd be several to the level of VSCode and didn't find anything recommended that was particularly new, and ended up using pulsar for taking notes (it keeps sessions with "unsaved" files somewhere so I just dump stuff into there, manages searches of file contents from certain folders like VS code) and VS Codium for development (it has ctrl+click to find usages/takes to declerations) , but I haven't gotten python integration working on there, and would like to try something new out.
I don't want to use Kate or NeoVim since I want a GUI and integration with "compilers"/interpreters by using buttons and such, but I haven't found anything that doesn't seem like its from the late 90s early 00s, which doesn't work with my shitty eyes and 1080 displays.
I've been using zed, it has solid python integration and is way faster than vscode (oss or otherwise). I believe python debugging is supported now, but it's not quite as advanced as PyCharm.
