Hi all, much of what I have read recommends Android Studio to create Android apps, but I’m a bit wary since it’s developed by Google. Are there any other good alternatives that are ideally open-source?
I am currently running Fedora 43 KDE, and I use VSCodium as my main code editor, mostly Python at the moment. Are there any plugins I could use to enable Kotlin support/specific Android dev stuff in VSCodium?


You’re going to be sabotaging yourself if you don’t use Android Studio.
But Android Studio sabotages you into using Play dependent stuff.
Wait what? How?
