Looks like a nice game.
I would like a key :)

I would suggest giving SuSE a shot.

Here's full 7.3

OR if you need older here's 6.4

But the 6.4 is 6 cd isos, whereas the 7.3 is a single DVD.

Everything about SuSE back then is superior, it's so heavily modified compared to other distros at the time, i.e. the kernel and XFree86.

7.3 had a real animated bootup that is superior to even today standards. Check it out!

Quoting: LinasHave you looked at JetBrains products [External Link]? AppCode [External Link] is probably the closest thing.

Those look really interesting. But they are for macos :)

Whoopsie daisy, you are right. AppCode is only available for macOS. CLion [External Link] on the other hand is for Linux.

I have personally used IntelliJ IDEA (Java), Rider (C#, .NET, Unity engine), PhpStorm, and Android Studio on Linux. They are all based on the same platform, with different plugins installed. I suggest you try the free IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, or/and the trial versions. Definitely worth the money if you are using them professionally. They also have free versions for students and open-source developers.

Those look pretty neat, and I think CLion is cool but a tad too pricey for me.
I was looking mainly for C/C++ support and would probably purchase CLion, but most of my [opensource] projects aren't actually built to make money!

I know it's probably not your comfort zone, and so it might very well be unappealing, or simply not your preferred way of working, but with C/C++ I do recommend considering setting up a language server protocol (LSP) of some kind (I use rtags). Quite a few editors support the protocol, so you get all the benefits of code analysis, referencing, etc, for exactly the code base you're working on, with the build options you're using (although rtags for example relies on clang, not gcc). Assuming your build system and IDE are not tied together too (even then, a proper IDE would at least allow a makefile or something to be used).

I use this with emacs for example, but there's vim, qt-creator also supports it I believe, eclipse, atom, visual studio code, etc. It might open up other avenues for you to explore that way.

Some of that stuff KDevelop does, but that looks like it on steroids - so I may come to that. Thanks for the heads up.

Quoting: DigitalSinWhat are the Linux alternatives to Apple's Xcode? Last time I used it, was easy and fast to use - with incredible search capabilities. (This was years ago in Tiger.) I can't really find a comparable IDE for Linux.

There's a forum thread with people's thoughts on various IDEs. Might be worth a read through:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2425

I've never used Xcode personally (never owned a Mac, never done development for one), so I can't comment on anything with the same features or interface, but maybe you'll get an idea for something to try.

Thanks for the link. Looks like there are a lot more options than I had known about!

I use xrandr for fullscreen apps...

To avoid the usage of the scaler which is built in the display, and use the GPU own scaler instead, when not using the native resolution of the monitor, execute:
$ xrandr --output "<output>" --set "scaling mode" "<scaling mode>"

To show the available outputs and settings, execute:
$ xrandr --prop

To set scaling mode = Full for just every available output, execute:
$ for output in $(xrandr --prop | grep -E -o -i "^[A-Z\-]+-[0-9]+"); do xrandr --output "$output" --set "scaling mode" "Full"; done

Not exactly for windowed apps, but useful to know :)
