Jetbrains IDE(s) failures - intellij-idea

First my specs are an Intel i7 toshiba laptop with 8gigs of RAM running windows 8.1 with all the latest updates. When I first launch any of Jetbrains IDEs after install, it would ask me for my workspace location and then it would proceed to do nothing after than, but it stays in memory and slows down my entire system for about a minute, after that, the computer stops being slow and returns to normal but the program still does nothing (no GUI) but still remains in memory, what is going on??? Thanks in advance.

It's hard giving a definite answer to your question. But it sounds to me like you have a problem with your Java. Make sure you have it installed and at the latest version.
Also, try looking for matching bugs in the JetBrains bug tracker.

Replacing the jre folder within the IDE folder (pycharm,intelliJ,etc.) with one from an updated JDK install not JRE install.
ex:
JDK/jre7 copy over Jetbrains/IDE/jre
fixes the issue

VS Code Platform-IO configuration

I had been using Platform-IO up to 2019 but when I reopened a project things started getting worse and worse. Tasks disappeared and it took a while to be able to compile again. Now Platform-IO has disappeared completely and I was getting deprecation warnings in the "Toggle developer tool' console.
Now after a complete reinstall of VS, Platform-IO etc. the IDE is still not functioning and I regret ever using it. It is like you jump into your car begging it to start. For professional use (able to restart your car every day without a mechanics) this solution needed to be solid and reliable which it does not seem to be. I will have to switch to another IDE I guess. The name Microsoft should have make me hesitate ...
I am using Windows 7 Professional and NO I WILL NOT UPGRADE THE OS.
Is there any means to install a functioning VS-Code / Platform-IO on Windows 7 or is it just an idea of an IDE ?
Sorry to appear mean but "Making you more productive" sounds like a scorn.
I recently tried installing Platform IO on a Win 7 PC of a colleague and experienced similar issues like you. Seems like current Platform IO versions / builds are not compatible and therefore not runnable on Windows 7.
Only idea comes to my mind is using legacy / previous releases of VS Code and Platform IO (manual plugin installation with a legacy release) to get a runnable environment on Win 7, but I didn't test it since I ended up installing a recent Ubuntu next to Win 7. (Seemed like a better solution to me).
Here you can find all of the older releases of VS Code & Platform IO:

Good luck ;)

Does netbeans IDE contain a virus?

I was looking at installing Netbeans 8.2 for working with PHP, java, HTML, etc. for various projects. However, when I download the installer both firefox and chrome inform me that the installer contains a virus. Is this a real problem?
It must be a false positive.
The SHA-256 checksum matches with the provided one in netbeans.org
It's a false positive, plus you can also download a zip file from netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html
I downloaded and installed version 8.2 on windows 10 64 bit twice and the OS gave me this message both times but I ignored it thinking that the OS just must have had a problem with how the package was signed. Later Windows defender removed two trojans. I would say there is a high likely-hood that the installer really does contain a virus and the netbeans team should look into it.
I went through and downloaded all the version of NetBeans (using chrome) and didn't get any issues.
The website I downloaded them from is https://netbeans.org/downloads/
I have(had) the same issue, perhaps it is getting blocked because it contains Java.
As the OP knows, there is the option to right-click 'Unblock' it...
It's definitely a false positive; I also downloaded it from 'netbeans.org'...

All ide from JetBrains launch extremely long on Arch Linux XFCE4

I have just installed fresh Arch Linux with XFCE4 and downloaded WebStorm. I did everything exactly as it is said in howto file (by executing .sh from bin folder). When i click on the WebStorm icon it looks like nothing is happening but suddenly after around 90s (and its min. value, i wonder how long it would be including project loading..) window pops up showing loading process.
I have pretty strong laptop with i7, 8gig of ram and SSD. There isn't any project loading also. It's fresh start. It used to work on Xubuntu, but it seems like i missed something during installation process or I dont know..
It's recommended to use OracleJDK not OpenJDK.
And try to trace what is happening while loading from terminal because if there is any error it will appear immediately.

Ubuntu Freeze if kept untouched for a few minutes

So I have Ubuntu 14.04 Installed on my system with a few "tweaks", mainly ccsm. I also have google chromium browser installed as well. I do a lot of work in the browser and usually have 10+ tabs open in my system.
I also like to use the multi-window (Workspace) and have 8 Workspaces (thus one of the reasons for ccsm).
Once I leave the computer and try to come back (before the screen locks), the computer is COMPLETELY frozen with my HDD running at very high speeds. I have a system monitor that monitors the CPU activity and HD activity and right before those things freezes, my RAM is at 100% and so is my HDD.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me FIGURE OUT what the problem is? I've been using ubuntu since '08 so I'm familiar with it. I just don't know where to start!
HELP!
I can not deal with the problem until I install the following packages as follows
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
You could get the detailed reason from http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/random-freezes-integrated-hd-4000-graphics
Maybe you have to consider the Google Chrome or Chromium, whose two or more different Flash plugins conflict with each other, and the freeze problem disappear after you Disable the Flash plugins in the webpage opened by inputting
chrome://plugins
in the URL address of Chrome
Or another useful method of changing the chrome plugins is to uninstall the google-chrome completely,and then install the current chrome with newest flash plugin.
After all the above are done, the system need restart.
Hope it can help. Good luck!

Netbeans running really really slow on my laptop

I am using the OS Ubuntu 12.04 and I have installed Netbeans 7.0.1 on it, my laptop's configuration is pretty good but still Netbeans runs really really slow on it and it hangs completely after using it only for a few mins. On doing some research I found that many people suggested to add the following line in the netbeans.conf file "netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64"
which I did but nothing has changed. It still lags a lot.
I can think of a couple of things I would try. Firstly, upgrade to NetBeans 7.4 as recent versions of NetBeans do more work in background threads, improving the general responsiveness of the application.
Secondly, in the etc directory of the NetBeans install (on Windows) there's a netbeans.conf. Try editing the netbeans_default_options property to set -J-Xmx to something large, maybe 256m or 512m. That should give NB a bit more space to play with.
