Hello! My question is basically what the title says. I'm searching for an IDE/text editor for Go development and am wondering if anybody knows an alternative to these. Here is the list of software I tried:

  • I've tried NeoVim but I really don't want to waste time doing text-based configuration and messing with extensions just to get some basic features working.

  • I tried VSCodium but it doesn't exist in my system software repositories (I'm currently on Chimera Linux), and the flatpak version can't run any system commands.

  • GoLand and Sublime Text are proprietary & paid.

It seems the market for IDEs is pretty small, so I wouldn't really be surprised if nothing existed that fit these criteria, but thanks for any answers in advance!

Edit: I've settled with Lite-XL which seems to be a great editor. Thanks for all of your great recommendations!

I use VIM but I am not a Go developer

By chimera Linux, do you mean the gaming one or this one?

Just curious

I meant the latter. I don't really like systemd and I loved FreeBSD for its simplicity but also can't use it on bare metal because of a lack of drivers, so this seemed like a great option.

Wow, it's actually daily driveable? Mind linking me the installation docs, I can't seem to find em...

Try Lunarvim. It's NeoVim, but ships as a fully functional IDE with easy customization if needed. Honestly I basically just changed the theme, font, and added a preview scrollbar.

Blazingly fast, extremely functional, endless customization if desired.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
