Intellij idea and distro doesnt matter. just use one of the top distros and youll be fine

>>54656823
IntelliJ for sure. Whatever language you use, if jetbrains has an IDE for it, it's best to shoot for that one

Intellij.
But first I recommend you reconsider, Java is shite.

>>54656823
Eclipse.

Kill yourselves.

Trust me on this one. The terminal and a text editor are all you need.

Intellij has less than 1/10th the features of Eclipse. Kill yourself.

I don't want to switch from C# to java. Just want to know how it is to develop in java vs C#.

>>54656823
IntelliJ IDEA and literally whatever the fuck distro you want - if you're actually gonna deploy your apps might as well develop on the same distro you'll be deploying to

>>54657022
Name one.

I'm a C++ guy, with a fondness for c#, thrown into a java world.

It's unbelievably boring and not very fulfilling. It's a minor miracle when you don't flood the heap with millions of useless temporaries that could be better handled with a simple stack allocated immutable structure type like c# has. Async is painful, lambdas are missing in any project you'll get paid for, the compiler is stupid and can't tell the difference between exception and normal code paths for finals. Eclipse is awful, idea isn't much better, and netbeans doesn't have the mind share among pajeet to make it worthwhile to use.

Basically, the only reason to even consider working in java is that most likely you get to use Linux to get your work done, meaning visual studio won't be locking your files every five minutes forcing you to restart to run a build.

Not saying those are the best choices. I'm just telling you what exists.
