What programming/programs can be done on a Linux/Ubuntu computer?

I'm looking into getting a Linux/Ubuntu computer and have never used Linux/Ubuntu. If someone could answer my question that would be most appreciated.

You can write front end/back end web code, separate server applications, embedded systems, operating systems. With Android Studio etc. you should also be able to write mobile apps.

As far as I know, there are not any language limitations on Linux. You will need to download compilers specific for Linux, if the language demands (an example would be C++) and will also need to download Linux versions of any IDE's/text editors. Other than that you should be good.

Prior to your purchase, it may help to try using a Virtual Box in which you can run Ubuntu. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads I use it to run Ruby on Rails >^.^<

Gnu / linux can already by default compile or interpret some programming languages ​​such as python, C, C ++ and Java. Just needing a text editor to write the code and know terminal command to execute. However it is free to choose from various IDEs and interpreters to help with the work. Code Blocks, Netbeans, Pycharm, Eclipse, IDLE (for python) are examples. In addition it is possible to use text editors with plugins that facilitate code editing.
