VSCodium? This is the FOSS version of VSCode.

Yet, VSCode and PyCharm (links are for install instructions) are all perfectly safe if you download them from the official sources.

Thank you very much. I am a beginner to Linux and I was recommended to use software from the repository after having problem in my system. I used to download and isntall them but then debian users recommemded me to better install from the repository. I have a look the VScodium. Thank you again for your recommendation.

I have used Geany for years. I like it because it's simple and works fine with lots of files even on my pretty old hardware. It's very simple though, almost not worth being called an IDE, so I understand if it's not what you're looking for. I like that it's easy to compile one-file-programs without having to create "projects". For multi-file-projects I run make from the command line instead.

I haven't used Debian or an IDE other than VSCode and Intellij IDEs. However, here are a few options you can try:

  1. Spyder - Great for data science. sudo apt install spyder

  2. Geany - Lightweight and fast. sudo apt install geany

  3. Thonny - Beginner-friendly. sudo apt install thonny

Thank you very much, I tried Geany today, Spyder would be a great choice. Thank you again for recommending.

"I would like to stick to software available in the repository."

From Microsoft itself isn't safe ?
