I asked in a random thread about linux IDEs, thinking there'd be several to the level of VSCode and didn't find anything recommended that was particularly new, and ended up using pulsar for taking notes (it keeps sessions with "unsaved" files somewhere so I just dump stuff into there, manages searches of file contents from certain folders like VS code) and VS Codium for development (it has ctrl+click to find usages/takes to declerations) , but I haven't gotten python integration working on there, and would like to try something new out.

I don't want to use Kate or NeoVim since I want a GUI and integration with "compilers"/interpreters by using buttons and such, but I haven't found anything that doesn't seem like its from the late 90s early 00s, which doesn't work with my shitty eyes and 1080 displays.

I've been using zed, it has solid python integration and is way faster than vscode (oss or otherwise). I believe python debugging is supported now, but it's not quite as advanced as PyCharm.

Not who you're asking, but weighing in anyways. I use VSCodium for C# and Python development on Linux. Only extensions I needed was ms-python.python, ms-python.debugpy, and I use ms-python.vscode-python-envs

For c# it's dotrush only.

All works. Step through debugging all works, no issues.

As I said, I didn't find an alternative, ended up just going back to regular Microsoft VSCode, I'll poke around VSCodium again and see if I can get Python to work as I'm expecting it to.
I suppose there is PyCharm Community Edition but I haven't really used it enough to recommend. It also feels like Jetbrains IDEs end up being heavier than Electron, somehow. Depending on your use it might be overkill.
I also know there's that super hyped Rust based one called Zed that's supposed to be really lightweight and fast, but who knows if they're even focusing on that anymore given their whole homepage is now AI AI AI...

Thanks for the picture of the landscape, I guess for my dad tier motives I'll just stick to what I have.

I even have fancy project based theming to stop me from getting confused in my old age.
