Asked By CuriousCoder22 On

I'm looking for an integrated development environment (IDE) for Linux that's similar to Dev-C++. I've struggled to understand Visual Studio Code and Zed; they feel more like text editors that need extensions. I've also heard that VS Code might not support C++ extensions anymore, which has been frustrating. I've tried watching tons of YouTube tutorials, but I still can't figure out how to run my C++ code. Is there a user-friendly IDE that can compile and run my code directly?

You should definitely check out Code::Blocks! It's free, pretty straightforward, and offers a similar experience to Dev-C++. It works well on Linux too.

I recommend CLion; it's quite user-friendly, but I'm not sure if they have a free version. It’s the best C++ IDE I’ve used so far. Another option is Eclipse, but you might also want to learn how to set up CMake and your compiler toolchain since that will really help you in the long run.
