Notepad++ and never look back.
Add it to wordpad, we use notepad because it’s fast and no bloat.
Worpad is dead
If Notepad is getting AI text editing then it’s as good as dead too.
Maybe for you…
i use notepad to paste garbage that needs the formatting stripped out, they better not fuck that up.
I’m all in on Linux at this point, it already does everything I need but faster
what do you do if you need to run an app thats windows exclusive? wine?
not OP but yeah, hopefully it works in wine or has a webapp, failing that I look for alternative software that meets my needs. If all else fails I suppose I could use a windows VM until a better solution appears. It’s really going to depend on your specific case and how vendor locked you are.
How well does a windows vm run in linux? Does it have hardware acceleration?
Asking because i need something to run photoshop and lightroom, which both need hardware acceleration :/
Just use KDE’s Kate, it’s so much better in every way
maybe not kate but kwrite. kate is a code editor
For coders, yes, but for writing down a quick note or something is nice
KWrite hasn’t been released by KDE on the Windows app store, Kate has. Using the app store means seamless updates in the background.
Maybe KWrite is available on winget which would make it a bit less inconvenient than manually downloading each update.
Edit: KWrite isn’t available on winget
C:\> winget search kwriteNo package found matching input criteria.
Oh nice! Micro$oft is now making every their tool into AI crapware and enshittifying it.
Keep going M$! You’re the best advertsiter to Linux! 👍 👍 👍
They own Linux, too. Just wait for systemd-copilot.
