Atom is a text editor that's modern, approachable, yet hackable to the core—a tool you can customize to do anything but also use productively without ever touching a config file.

Flatpak... Flatpak everywhere! I just gave up installing after seeing that it was a Flatpak with a gigantic size... by the way... Atom and all projects under the Atom organization will be archived on December 15, 2022.

So far i am loving it. Tried a few editors that all had bugs/quirks, so this is fantastic. only 4 stars as the huge download sucked !

It seems like every software to run properly needs this new "flatpak" install type. Each "flatpak" install is basically the size of an OS ISO. Who is the asshole that thinks this is a good idea and who is forcing the rest of us to adopt it?

Atom is slick. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because, since it gets installed using flatpak, I had to do extra reading to set the PATH variable the flatpak way to get some rust plugins to work.

To the previous posters talking about the filesizes. The sort of "gzipped" format the .deb format creates...you should look at the hardware I/O and CPU levels when using it. This format gives you basically all the files and they run as a normal program does. The other format, the .deb, requires well over 300% more resources. I'm calling it a "gzipped" format but you get the idea heh. I'm a webdev don't really know enough about the backend yet. But you can run them both and see for yourselves, well over 300% more usage vs. this flatpak design.

I struggled to get this to work with unity3d. In the end i used open by extension and then choose atom / sublime

I'd give it a 4+ if not for the ludicrously fat flatpak.

I was going to give this a try but then realised that it is a flatpack and the SIZE of it no.... grabbing a .deb from the programs page was better for me.

My review is not about the text editor, but 1.2GB for a text editor is too much, Flatpack you should do your homework right...!! Hello users, please go for a non flatpack version of atom its very light [60 mb ~]

Was using Atom on Mac before I switched to Sublime when I realised the size of the application was ~550MB. It is even more outrageous on Linux. 3.6 Gigs of disk space for a text + code editor. That is just inexcusible. The whole LibreOffice suit is a fraction of that size. Heck even MSOffice with 4 main apps(Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint) are equal to this Text Editor alone. Not cool.

não consegui de forma alguma fazer o atom compilar o código c++, ao compilar o atom informa que nao encontra o terminal, mesmo após instalando o xterm e configurando no atom, o atom nao encontra o path

Flatpak version is painful. No way to open only HTML files in a folder ? Can't get ability to open files from CLI. Everyone who tries to help me is using a non-flatpak version, so their advice doesn't work. No install-shell-commands menu item any more ? I'm stuck.

Not a fan of this repo version at all. Atom cannot find 'tidy' via $PATH or by entered absolute path. Best course of action is to add Atoms GPG key 'https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/gpgkey' and add official repo from 'deb [arch=amd64] https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/any/ any main'. With the official repo everything just works as it should, this has been a problem since I tried the Mint repo version of Atom, many months later the problem still exists.

Después de unos 5 años usando sublime, he comenzado a usar ATOM como alternativa libre y me ha convencido. Muy completo, super personalizable, extensiones y auto-completadores de código para todos los lenguajes. Totalmente recomendable.
