Lots of replies mentioning Emacs but Emacs out of the box is gonna be essentially a text editor (insert obligatory: Emacs isn't a text editor; it's a LISP interpreter).

However, install Doom Emacs, and you have a full IDE experience for essentially any language you could ask for. I highly recommend it.

    Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as vterm (the best terminal emulator for Emacs).

    A Flatpak of Doom Emacs? No. But you can just install the normal Emacs flatpak and then install Doom Emacs with 2 simple commands:

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs

    ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

    Emacs will read these config files from the .config/emacs directory. Doom Emacs is not a different version of the program, it's essentially just a set of configuration files.

    I don't have a Linux Mint installation right now, but when I used Mint a few months ago this worked for me. The two commands are from the official Doom Emacs install guide. Could you tell me exactly what doesn't work?

    when i use those commands it assume emacs is installed as a system package and installs to a different location not accessible to the flatpak

    Yes, it's one single command. No, I haven't noticed any major downsides of Emacs as a Flatpak.

    Iโ€™ve got nothing to do with this comment thread at all, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate you going so far out of your way to help an internet stranger. Love to see it.
