FOSS IDE Recommendations (beehaw.org)

I'm a hobbyist programmer, mostly in JavaScript, but I'd like to learn Rust. I'd like to use an open-source IDE that supports Language Server Protocol. I'm currently using WebStorm, which is not open-source, and doesn't support LSP. I've checked out VS Codium, which is open-source and does support LSP, but it seems like it's a hobbled version of VS Code that still phones home to Microsoft.

Are there and other IDEs that are FOSS and that support LSP?

Edit: Thanks everybody. I'm taking the path of least resistance and sticking with Webstorm and IntelliJ.

Neovim works well for me. If you want to get some IDE-like features out of the box you can try AstroNvim https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim. I also use rust-tools for some extra features: https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim. Customizing Neovim might be scary at first, but there are lots of resources to learn from and you can basically do anything you want with it.

I've been using lunarvim, I haven't had to make any changes for the past year. I'm liking it, simply because before with vim I never quite got it to a point where I was 100% happy with it. Of course it's great that the cusomizability exists.
