Good IDE's for ARM64 chromebooks

Post by artificialallium »

I'm relatively new to lua, and linux in general.
I managed to get love working on chromebook natively using the app, a file manager and a basic text editor.
However, it was extremely barebones with no syntax highlighting, no auto completion, no running within the ide, and worst of all...
no tab key (there was a little button you had to click to add a tab.) :o :o :o
After doing some research, it seems the only good option would be sublime but im really not willing to shell out that amount of money right now.
Can any of you help?

On a side note do you think it would be better for me to run love within ChromeOS or Crostini?

I have not got a chromebook, but I am using emacs on a M1 which is arm64 for my love development,
it being emacs it has a bit of a learning curve though.
