If you're not averse to paying for an editor - Rider by JetBrains got me through my C# + Unity courses in university (using Linux), I still use visual studio to this day at work and I think I prefer Rider overall actually, but obviously it comes with a fair price tag.



My problem with rider is that most c# shops are visual studio. It is a time investment for me to learn and my current employer has made a cost cutting and ended our jetbrains resharper licenses, they won't pay for rider. This is pretty annoying. Vscode is free, so I can use it where ever. I don't like vscode, but it is proving useful to know due to the number things that it can be used for.


Interestingly enough, this does not track with experiences of most of my network - employers are usually happy (and sometimes mandate, which is not that good) to pay for Resharper, which carries over to Rider without issue.
