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) – guiverc Dec 17 '19 at 20:45
