How to solve the problem by creating a C project in NetBeans?

Question

linux

I installed NetBeans version 8.2 patch 2 on Linux Mint 19.1. I want to install a plugin for programming in C. In the menu Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins I find the plugin I need. Installation in progress. During installation, a message appears.

72 plugins out of 72 require your attention and confirmation before installing.

There is no crime here, it just asks to confirm the installation. Further there is already an error (immediately after the message about successful installation).

Warning - could not install some modules: com.jcraft.jsch - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: /home/george/.netbeans/10.0/modules/com-jcraft-jsch.jar: Cannot start com.jcraft.jsch state remains INSTALLED after start()

Offers to either exit the IDE or disable the specified modules. I turn it off, I try to create a project in C - there are necessary items in the menu, and you can create it, however, at the creation stage, the error "The assembly node is not connected" appears, and, accordingly, having written the code, it is impossible to assemble and run the program.
Advise how to be. As far as I can speak English, there is some kind of conflict, but I don’t understand what and with what. The file specified in the error is alive and well at the specified address. This is my first time using NetBeans, I am not familiar with it at all, I know that it is mainly for Java programming, and it may be a bad idea to try to program in C.
Recommend something for C programming (simple lab projects for students) under Linux - but not a text editor + terminal. And not Geany - there were problems with it too (there is no debugger and it did not work to install it).

I work on Qt creator. There's a lot of handy things like highlighting and transitions by clicking on a function method to that class, and so on. Supports working with Git.
