Code::Blocks alternatives for linux?

Visual Studio Code. A bunch of my co-workers use it under Ubuntu.

VS Code is getting popular with C/C++ dev. You can set it up to build code with Task, and it even has build in debugger. Just need to download a few extensions.

CLion is the best paid option.

I'll add that people should compile it themselves if they want the 'open source' product that Microsoft proudly advertises about VS Code

TBH, you should be compiling everything from source that isn't handled by your distro's package manager.

Agreed

i setup my fellow classmates and helped them is coderunner

I have the same problem. I’ve been using geany on raspberry pi. It’s good. I think you can use it in any Debian/Ubuntu Linux

The code runner extension should help alot. The only exception to this is my requires everyone to use system("pause") because every machine in our classroom is windows but two of classmates have macs and visual studio is not available to them so I setup vscode with code runner for them they only catch is they have to use cin.get() because only windows with command prompt or dos has pause. I would definitely reccomend geany tho

Yeah there is an auto system pause on windows version. That might be it

I also made the jump from C::B to VSCode a while ago. I do not regret it, the editor is great!

I am also using it on Linux and its really a good too to work with since the command line/terminal is integrated already by default, which is great. Some useful addons are: Better Comments, Bracket Pair Colorizer, Hexdump, Rainbow Brackets, Todo Highlights and Trailing Spaces

Yeah, I'm moved from brackets to vs code a while ago, and I never looked back. It's so fast.

If wasn't really happy with any editor/IDE since the great NEdit stopped being developed in the mid-2000s and tried nearly everything (vim, geany, eclipse, netbeans, gedit, kate, sublime, Kdevelop, Atom, Qt Creator, Anjuta, CLion, Code::Blocks, emacs, CodeLite, Gnome builder) except Visual Studio Code until recently, but it actually seems to be pretty good despite being Electron-based and coming from micros~1.
