I’m all in on Linux at this point, it already does everything I need but faster
Notepad++ and never look back.
Crying in Linux 😢
just use geany or something else…u can customize it to be as useful as notepad++
Use Kate
Or Kwrite of you want something simple.
I’ll give it a try, thanks!
You can get to work under linux, via Play on linux for example. It won’t be exactly integrated experience, but it works.
Add it to wordpad, we use notepad because it’s fast and no bloat.
I’ve been using Notepads (yes with an extra S) instead of Notepad for ages now and it’s a pretty good and fast option with a nice modern design even before MS changed up Notepad.
Worpad is dead
If Notepad is getting AI text editing then it’s as good as dead too.
Maybe for you…
Why doesn’t MS do what Apple does with Writing Tools. Put it Rewrite at the OS level so that anything with text can access the feature? Doing this an app at a time is odd.
Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.
The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).
Because windows is a fucking mess 😂
Just use KDE’s Kate, it’s so much better in every way
Love Kate on Linux, but is it just me that Kate on Windows is extremely slow to open compares to literally everything, even Sublime? My system has i7-12800HX and everything is installed on gen 4 NVMe SSDs so specs shouldn’t be an issue.
maybe not kate but kwrite. kate is a code editor
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! 👍 👍 👍
I will only use this if it uses Clippy’s animations.
Thats… what this is, right?
Clippy 3.0?
Finally AI in my favourite code editor!
/s (both)
When I have to boot into Win11, I run this right after as a shortcut from my desktop (right-click and Run As Administrator):
net stop usosvc sc config usosvc start=disabled net stop wuauserv sc config wuauserv start=disabled
… be sure to set your Wifi points as metered to block Update as well.
Note that anytime you go into certain Settings / Control Panel pages, Win11 silently re-enables the above services! Crazy. (Someone should really write a patch for that…)
Sad anyone has to put up with this BS but, we do what we gotta do.
Those are update services. Upgrading your os is a basic security measure nowadays. You recommend to sacrifice some security because of a minor inconvinience. It’s alright if you can live with that tradeoff, but please don’t recommend it on the internet. Windows assumes a user is not knowledgeable enough about this topic, so it’s enabled for them.
Other hint, because it seems you are also not very knowledgeable about this topic, usually you can disable these things with group policies if you really want to, so you don’t have to run it after each boot. Or you can also set up a scheduled task or create a service with nssm.
