I have a bit of an off-topic question for you: I'm developing a single app for Windows in 3 languages: C#, C++, and Typescript using Visual Studio and I get excellent autocomplete/integration support. However I'm looking towards porting it to Linux, and I'm looking at some other IDE. Is there something that can handle building/debugging/autocomplete for these 3 that's not VS?

Try moving to VSCode on Windows, see if you can re-create your workflow there using plugins.

Then, if you are successful, port your workflow to VSCode running in Linux.

Perhaps also intellij with the language specific plugins? Separately, all these languages work fine. What’s the build tool?

Msbuild haha. I use it to build the C++ and C# parts, and to trigger npm build on the typescript part. For C#, I'm perfectly happy with it, however for C++ I'm looking for something cross-platform. CMake maybe? Is there something better?
