IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux (sh.itjust.works)

Hello! My question is basically what the title says. I'm searching for an IDE/text editor for Go development and am wondering if anybody knows an alternative to these. Here is the list of software I tried:

  • I've tried NeoVim but I really don't want to waste time doing text-based configuration and messing with extensions just to get some basic features working.

  • I tried VSCodium but it doesn't exist in my system software repositories (I'm currently on Chimera Linux), and the flatpak version can't run any system commands.

  • GoLand and Sublime Text are proprietary & paid.

It seems the market for IDEs is pretty small, so I wouldn't really be surprised if nothing existed that fit these criteria, but thanks for any answers in advance!

Edit: I've settled with Lite-XL which seems to be a great editor. Thanks for all of your great recommendations!

I'm currently using Gnome and can't exactly change the QT theme in a supported way, so Kate is stuck in a light theme. Using Kvantum makes it look like a mix of light and dark theme in a really bad way.

The GTK alternative Geany also doesn't work well since it's also sadly stuck in a constant light theme.

Doesn't Kate have its own theme options?

I can only change the text editor's theme but not the UI's.

Yes you can. UI color is in Settings -> Window Color Scheme. Editor color is in Settings -> Editor Color Scheme. Both are editable separately.

Can't you use qt5ct/qt6ct?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
