Rider For Linux

Rider is one of JetBrain's best products, partly because it uses the same successful recipe as other in-house IDEs (great GUI, solid performance, sublime integration with VC systems, etc.), and partly because it uses the best features of other JetBrains products (such as ReSharper).

Rider is a solid alternative to Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, and even though both are very comprehensive .NET IDEs, they're a bit different in how they work.

Another great aspect of Rider is that it works on all major OSes such as Windows, macOS, and most Linux distributions.

It's also remarkably feature-packed. By combining the power of both ReSharper and IntelliJ IDEA, Rider provides over 2200 live code inspections, over 60 refactorings, and 450 context actions

It also boasts a feature-rich code editor with everything a developer might expect such as templates, code completion.

When it comes to tools, Rider also provides an unit test runner, a professional debugger that works with .NET Framework, Mono, and .NET Core apps, a stack trace explorer, NuGet browser, and VCS and database support.

Just like most JetBrains IDEs, Rider has a very stylish and functional IDE. Sure, it might not load big projects or start-up the fastest, but it offers a lot of tools to increse productivity.

Navigation and search functions are done with ease, and the app comes packed with JavaScript, TypeSCript, HTML, CSS, and Sass tools. In terms of extensibility, Rider supports a plethora of plugins developed for both ReShaper and IntelliJ IDEA.

Rider is without a doubt one of the most complete apps for .NET development. With its help, you can develop anything from .NET desktop apps, services and libraries, to Unity nad Unreal Engine games, Xamarin apps, ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web apps, and so much more.
