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?

      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!

          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.

        can you install neovim on a server? Is it tiny/light?

          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.
