There are a lot of editors (many many of them) for C. But I personally use either "Eclipse" or "Vim" editors. Eclipse is actaully an IDE but Vim is an editor. You can also configure Vim in linux to compile your program. Both are amazing editors.

Sorry, I forgot to add CodeBlocks. It's a very good IDE too. Easy to use and handles your project files very nicely.

When it comes to compilers for linux, gcc is the most common, and it comes installed with ubuntu.
