Install Atom editor in ubunut mate?

It works okay with the armhf setup (exagear is x86 emulation?). Takes 55 seconds to start and become responsive with my pile of windows, tabs, and plug-ins. Timecop looks like a bloodbath, haha.
Typing is maybe a 1/4s lag with lots of syntax highlighting stuff enabled.
Still not the same as a "real computer" but a lot better than it sounds like you're getting with exagear. Just plan on burning like 3 hours to get all the armhf stuff set up.

What OS are you running? Because I use the latest stable 0.6.2 and the performance is horrible. CPU usage is really low (it doesn't even use 15%) but Atom is really slow. 2 second input lag.

I'm running:
Linux pinebook 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-77 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 9 12:09:30 UTC 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux


You mentioned using ExaGear, which is a totally different method (and much slower)

So no atom, no VS Studio Code (just doesn't work), no sublime... I get a lot of problems working with this thing properly. Even the typing is hard with the space key randomly not registering properly. 

So what else could I use on it to code?
