I liked notepad for it's simplicity.

Even notepad++ was way more complex than notepad ever was.

It literally just used ASCII (or similar) characters to a file. You can't open anything other than text on it, it won't allow you to attach pictures, graphs, videos or even links. You need to type out the damned URL in its entirety.

N++ is great for what it is, but notepad, aside from it's simplicity, was also great because it was everywhere.

Windows 11 started the down fall of my favorite simple text editor when they introduced..... tabs.

I hate that. I close notepad, and then open it again and.... Why is all this shit still here?!?!

Get fucked Microsoft.

linux is definetly not all of that anymore.

but yes, one step at a time, its time will come for ya.

Cantankerously and all at once.

Now that's the way to do it!

My next toot will be drafted on a blank Libre page with no AI checking anything.

I have bad news for you. It's in your OS, there is no space safe from surveillance in Windows. That said, LibreOffice is a pretty heavy and complex application compared to notepad. I'm sure they can find a much lighter and simpler text editor to use as a replacement.

"I'm done with Microsoft Windows™ because I dislike Copilot™! I will now move to Linux even though I heard it breaks constantly and install LibreOffice which probably doesn't even have a spell checker!"

E: Yes I can see how that was too subtle, keep downvoting.

Installing cross-platform programs like that is a great way to prepare for a move over to penguin town, and check for any blockers keeping you from making the leap.

Notepad is their digital safe space? Come on.

There's a lot of discussion here without any mention of Sublime Text.
