I'm a big fan of JetBrains IDEs, however, they are resource hungry so if VSCode is making your laptop go crazy I doubt one of theirs would be better. What are the specs on your laptop? Have you tried removing extensions one by one and seeing if maybe it's an extension causing the issue?

it has a 8gb ram and is a toshiba it also has a ssd on it. i think the problem is that i installed windows beside linux. also which jetbrain ide should i use? as far as i know pycharm community does not support django and you need to go pro.
btw thanks for answering i honestly didnt think anyone would answer!

I've never developed in the Python ecosystem. However, looking at their info PyCharm Pro would be what you need for Django. I've always found more than enough value to pay for JetBrains tools. It's a month for free so I'd say try it and see how you like it.

I'd also strongly recommend JetBrains IDEs. The search is awesome. Many features that VSCode didn't catchup yet.

Depending on how happy you are with steep learning curves, vim (editor) and emacs (can be ide) are great for that reason. vim will typically require that you know how to run compilers and debuggers without the plumbing being done for you though.

Cursor built on VSCode.

Cursor is based upon the VS Code codebase

From their docs
