- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

Why do you not avoid using Windows instead?
Not him but I use Windows for C++ and C# development, and I use Linux for coding work stuff (mostly javascript). Have yet to find a good, free IDE for C++ development on Linux that compares to Visual Studio
CLion's worth checking out. It's free for non-commercial projects.
CLion is alright, but I don't like jetbrains UX design. I also prefer MSBuild and solution files over makefiles or cmake. Would be nice for an IDE that was all inclusive like Visual Studio is
Fair enough! I can recommend Emacs. Build your own IDE with style. Some use Nvim. CLion as mentioned is also probably as good as any other Jetbrains software.
Lol emacs is the opposite direction of where I want to go. I used to be a vim user and had all my plugins and configs in there until I realized that I was spending more time configuring vim than I was actually coding, so I stopped trying so hard and just moved to Visual Studio and VSCode
Try Doom or Spacemacs. Anything I change is because I am lazy and need something to be even more lazy. The work very well out of the box.
