What’s an free bare bones IDE for Python that works smoothly out of the box?
When I installed my IDE I just wanted something lightweight, so I went with Geany. I've been using it for years without trouble.

Scintilla is a free source code editing component with a permissive license
Take a look at Geany https://www.geany.org/ which uses scintilla under the hood and is blisteringly fast and lightweight and plugin friendly as well as FOSS.

A distro for 12 year old laptops
AntiX is definitely going to be the fastest of the recommendations here. I have it on a Core Duo with 2G Ram and I am really a very big fan of that distro. It is all there, sometimes it takes a bit of time to get use to its quirks, but it is worth powering through. You have the option of three lightweight window managers and then there are two file managers that are used to give you some desktop functionality. Take some time to learn which one of those options you like the best. Here is a screenshot of my setup after fiddling with it a bit. For a lighter weight text editor/IDE check out Geany.

CLion vs VSCode in 2023 for C++
Another FAST editor -- they call it a mini IDE -- for C++ and a bunch of other languages is Geany https://www.geany.org/
- It's the 9th anniversary of Geany not fixing C function highlighting. Join me in appreciating the utter state of FOSS. 🙃🙃🙃

Bash script help
I did copy-paste your fenced code into an editor (geany). Some of the indentations use tabulators, other explicit spaces. I recommend to stick either with one, or the other. Note, good editors allow you to use the tabulator key and -- on the fly the editor inserts (an adjustable number of) explicit spaces into the source code. In case of geany, this is available from the GUI via Edit -> Preferences, then Editor -> Indentation. Get in touch with your peers/colleagues, and adjust this accordingly (e.g., 2, 3, 4 spaces per tabulator key/indentation level; frequently either 2, or 4). Once if you all agree on a format in common, exchange, maintenance and collaboration (think e.g., GitLab/GitBucket/GitHub) is going to be considerably easier. (No, I don't know if there is bash code reformatter as e.g., fprettify for Fortran, yapf/black for Python [where indentation actually is functional], or rubocop for Ruby.)

rip atom and fuck microsoft (vs code is kinda nice tbh doe)

What’s an free bare bones IDE for Python that works smoothly out of the box?
VSCode is good but I wouldn't describe it as "barebones". I recommend Thonny. It's a Python IDE specifically for beginners.

Now, NiceGUI has a build-in persistent user/session based storage.
Maybe a goofy question, and definitely unrelated to the post topic, but: I’m using Thonny to learn Python: can I use NiceGUI with Thonny?

What is your favorite IDE/Text Editor to use for Python?
If you're learning how to program for the first time, I generally recommend Thonny. Lightweight, full of useful features, but more importantly, the debugger really helps break down what is happening "under-the-hood" when you execute your code.

Autostarting with OpenCV
If you used Thonny to develop the code its possible the modules are only installed for Thonny - it is designed to be stand-alone on computers that do not have pip / python installed and this 'feature' is not well covered on the Thonny site - a quick scan shows this note:

Jupyterlab Desktop
Re debug experience I completely agree - it just isn’t sexy… yet? Browser dev tools have proven that debugging is super important. It feels like code debuggers have been stagnant for past couple decades.
https://thonny.org/ has been featured on HN recently. Looks at least as an iterative step forward.
