After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad
-
lol fuck that
-
I think that's the start of the conversation. Which Desktop Environment?
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple does something like this too at some point in the future
-
It literally is. It's part of the KDE Plasma desktop.
The Vim, nano command line text editors being there doesn't mean Kate isn't an OS app.
Would you say the Dolphin file explorer isn't an OS/system app on the basis that you can use commands like cd, mv, cp, pwd in terminal? Because I certainly wouldn't.
-
Well… it just removes so much toxicity from the outset
-
IMO:
-
want to show off? i3wm with gaps and rofi for menu launcher. Add it some transparency effects too.
-
want the MacOS style? Gnome. Default on a lot of distros.
-
want something stable? XFCE. Install and forget.
-
-
LLMs in general is a tool no in one asked for
-
For plain text, either nano on CLI or whatever built in basic text editor comes with LMDE.
Windows I used notepad, from now on I’ll add ++
-
Sublime can do all of that as well, but it's more performant, has better shortcut keys, and IMO it has much nicer navigation for larger files (gives you a sort of eagle-eye's view of the entire document next to the scrollbar). That's all very much a personal preference thing of course.

Things preventing me from moving to Linux : video games and Adobe Lightroom.
-
Most video games work through proton on Steam. Lightroom has a web app you can use instead.
-
I really like my KDE plasma
-
...my cracked version of Adobe CS6
-
It's like they want people to use npp instead
-
Hell yeah. I just wanted to add another option. I have no opinion regarding Sublime and choice is a good thing. There's something for everyone.
-
Good thing whenever I set up Windows, Notepad is one of the things I nuke, using Geany to replace it.
-
Plus RawTherapee and DarkTable are pretty good, and actually free, Lightroom alternatives to boot.
-
Why would a bot be using notepad?
-
vscodium fixes the privacy anyway
At the cost of some features not working (e.g. Pylance, which is the default Python extension, as well as others by MS).
-
All the Linux posts and Linux loving Lemmy users are what keep me away from Linux.
They’re like the Rick and Morty fans of PC software
