Linux Development is 100% possible.

Netbeans is available on every OS.

Simply Install the latest Netbeans for your Distro, in your Native Package format or through your native package manager.

Install the plugins just the same as with any Windows computer.

Set up that computer with a different IP address from the other laptop that is the driver station (driver station must be Windows).

I believe you can deploy code just the same... (We are a rookie team and have not preformed the benchtop test yet....)
