CLion from JetBrains and Microsoft Visual Code are the best commercial ones for Linux, NetBeans is a free (as in freedeom and open source) one (that also supports many other languages like Java and Python).

What I don't recommend is Eclipse - it's complex and confusing for beginners (but a bit faster than some others).

I didn’t think NetBeans supported C++ anymore?

Yeah, at least according to the repo it seems they now delegate to the ccls language server and just do syntax highlighting via the textmate plist grammars that are so commonly paired with language servers
