Programming an old stamp from Linux

I use to have a Windows computer and a Parallax Basic Stamp robot kit etc. Lost everything in a house fire, but salvaged the Stamp. Its been 12 years and I recently acquired a new computer and running Manjaro Linux.
My question is can I write code to this controller in Basic from my computer in any IDE, or do I need to use Parallax's fancy software? If the latter, how do I run the Pbasic software on my Manjaro Linux open source operating system? I just want to tinker because its been 12 years since I had a computer so everything is new and complicated, and I keep hitting seemingly unnecessary barriers to entry. Any guidance or assurance would be appreciated. Thanks

If you refer to the Basic STAMP software downloads page you will find an option to program your old stamp using a Chrome App. Install Chrome on your Linux system and you are half way there!

ps. I have edited your thread title to keep things on topic.
Okay thanks. Google is not allowed on my computer, so I may have to shelve the project or plug it into my phone. Either way, It connects via VGA port so still a bit complicated.
