Which IDE do you use for linux?

#1

Hey guys, i’ve recently made the switch to using linux (Well, Ubuntu) and i’m working on getting everything set up now. When I was on Windows, I used Eclipse and LibGDX. From doing a bit of research, I see there are a few different options…

I’m having a hard time choosing and making sure everything is going to work correctly. What do you guys use? I could still use Eclipse from what I understand, but I don’t know if that would be the best option for me. I have experience with eclipse, but i’m not really sure I like it that much. There are too many options for which I only need 5% of them…The rest is for other tasks…

I also read something about using android studio. I do wish to make android apps as well as deploy my games to android…But, again, i’m not sure if that would really be the best option…

So I just want to hear you guy’s opinions and what you use.

Thanks!

Hi

Maybe you’ll need a bit of the 95% one day. You can use the same IDEs under GNU Linux and Windows, Netbeans, Eclipse, … I use Eclipse but it’s a matter of taste.

It doesn’t really matter so much which one you use. There are little differences here and there.
I personally use Android studio and IntelliJ.

Yeah, I mean, I got use to using Eclipse…So i’m not really opposed to it. I just didn’t know if there were any other superior options. I’ve heard a lot about Android Studio and I like the way it’s set up…But I want to do more than just Android apps…So I don’t know if that would really suffice for what I need. I’m still fairly new to Linux. I’ve been using it for about 6 months, so I know the basics…But I still have a lot to learn. The same with Java and LibGDX. I’ve been using it off and on for about 2 years.

I’m not familiar with IntelliJ. I’ll check that out. I may just install Eclipse and Android Studio so I can try them both. I guess I was hoping for another IDE that I wasn’t aware of that was great. Lol. Wishful thinking I guess. haha.

Android studio and IntelliJ are almost the same thing but if you’re up to making any Android projects I’d go with Android studio.
And if you’re used to the Eclipse shortcuts then no worries. In Android studio you can change your shortcuts to match Eclipse’s shortcuts.

I installed Android Studio. I like it so far. My only question is, is it sufficient for non android programming?
