I have no clue about linux, i've used Windows all my life. I recently installed Lubuntu to a really old laptop i had no use of. I need to install a lightweigh IDE for C coding to use for my university needs. I've only worked with Dev C++ and Visual Studio in my main computer that is able to handle these software. But i need to get a working IDE on my laptop that just works for me to code on the way. Some info about my laptop: Laptop : Acer extensa 5230 CPU : Intel Celeron 2Ghz Single Core 32bit RAM : 1GB ddr2 Storage : 160GB Thanks for the help in advance. PS : Any advice for starting on linux would be very helpful.

2You didn't specify what Lubuntu you are using. Legacy Lubuntu uses LXDE (thus has GTK+2 libs in memory) so may lead to a different choice to modern Lubuntu (LXQt) which is Qt(5) based. Thus if you want to be lightweight, this should be taken into account otherwise you're wasting RAM as multiple libs doing the same thing need to share memory at the same time. You did mention x86/32-bit so it's likely Lubuntu 18.04 LTS (using older GTK+2)– guivercDec 17, 2019 at 20:45
