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.

If jetbrains is that much better really depends on the language. Also, jetbrains shit is damn expensive, so not a fair comparison.
They have free 'community editions', I haven't really found a need for a licence. I've only used IntelliJ, PyCharm, and ~~ReSharper~~ though.
Edit: I meant rider but I was using a student licence for it anyway.
IntelliJ and PyCharm are the only JetBrains IDEs with community editions. If you want to use CLion for example, you'll either have to be a student or you have to pay.
or the project being opensource(it's i read right now) don't know how it work tho
Your project needs to be at least 3 months old with regular commits of code files (text files, readmes, or any other non code don't count). That's pretty much it.
I just went through the process, but since my project is only a month old, I got rejected. They told me to apply again in 2 months. My project is in Python, so I'm just using the community edition in the meantime, which is fine. I just really want the test code coverage feature of the paid version.
Is it though? Considering the amount of time you spent in it and the potential productivity increase it might give you I'd consider it very fairly priced.
Expensiveness does not have to mean it isn't priced fairly. Not everyone has the money to drop on tools like it, or is able to get their work to pay for it, even it is worth it.
For some time now I mostly write rust and I'm actually very satisfied with VS Code and rust-analyzer. I tried intelliJ-rust but didn't find it better. To be fair, I haven't tried the new jetbrains rust IDE though.
