I detest Apple but understand your perspective. However, linux has improved over time for desktop use, and more things have moved to the web. So really I feel like I rarely leave the browser. And if I do, it is just to a text editor or IDE. Having a lightweight setup eliminates a lot of problems. I try to install almost nothing, honestly. The less you have installed, the less attack surface you have, the less updates you need, and the less chance for breakage. Usually if something breaks in desktop linux for me, it is because I know I was doing something non-standard. Trying to use unstable packages, custom settings, etc. Apple solves that problem by barely letting you do anything at all, thus removing the PEBKAC.

With weird Atom issues now (on Ubuntu 18.04 I can't install or update my packages), would love if anyone had a good browser based IDE service which is cheap and private.

  Have you tried visual studio code? I have replace all my IDEs (Pycharm, WebStorm) with vscode and never looked back. There are some issues if I am nitpicking but overall the experience is just outstanding.

    Does vsc have good Django support?
    - anikdas 8y ago
      yes. I have been using it specifically for Django. You need to install the official python extension though.

      Not built-in, but you can install extensions that cover your needs. Here are the VS Code extensions that have something to do with Django https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=django&target=VSCode&category=All%20categories&sortBy=Relevance https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=django&targ... Unfortunately, you'll have to test them for yourself since I don't have a use for them.

  try VSCodium.. its vscode without all of the MS telemetry stuff in it. I use it on fedora 29 and it runs great. Im not a django developer though but the community is great and there is a ton of extensions for pretty much everything. https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
