  People on Linux are used to things just working I guess.

    Having QoL features that 95% of people need and use is considered “not working” now? A larger percentage of people would say a text program without a spellcheck or auto correct would be broken.

    This Linux circle jerking on Lemmy has gotten beyond exhausting. Options exist for everyone’s preference, it’s not broken because it’s defaulted on and you’re too stupid to change a setting.

      … On notepad?

      Oh come on, use some word editor if you need autocorrect. Notepad is a quick fast text editor that is mostly used for script editing and small stuff, its supposed to be just a plain text editor.

      Having said that, I will shut up but still think that notepad never needed a rehaul.

        Rehaul? This stuff has been part of the program for decades…

        A text editor should have basic functions, if you just want a text editor, do it in command prompt or a web link entry.

        It’s never supposed to have been a plain text editor, where did you get this asinine idea from?

  Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.

    And that’s an issue, it prevents all productive discussion on a topic.

    Should be treated as trolling when it’s used to derail topics, which is what it is.

      Completely agree. It’s really frustrating, not to mention pretty off-putting regarding Linux.

  I knew half of the answers would be “just use linux”

    This is fair and warranted.

    Also, to be fair, Windows is a trash-tier piece of software that become little but adware/spyware in a trenchcoat, masquerading as an operating system. I ran an install in a VM a couple of weeks ago for the first time in nearly two decades and even the basic installation process is on par with the WinXP alpha (before the installer was ready), requiring extra driver disks and software just to be able to think about installing. I had to fight with UEFI and Grub to get Arch to boot alongside Fedora the other day and that was a much more enjoyable process.

    “Ju u- Lin”

    A bit less that half reply

    /s

    Let’s discuss 9instead why would be good to replace such a solid and no frills tool like notepad at all?
