I'm glad I left Windows again when I did (about 2 years ago). There's no AI bullshit in vim or mousepad. That said, vim is available on windows, so a full switch isn't necessary if you're not all about that Linux life.

Linux is extremely stable nowadays. Just download Ubuntu and you're set.

I never really thought about just how personal Notepad is for me. Even the Notes app on my phone. I wouldn't want anyone to look through any of it. I write some embarrassing shit. Pointless backstories for my video game protagonists when they don't already have one. Drafts for important upcoming conversations. You name it. Get the fuck out of my space. Fortunately I'm still using Notepad++, but I'm sure Microsoft will slide its dick into that too, eventually.

Feeling the same, and currently in process of dumbing down my tech and decoupling from major tech platforms. They really got us by the balls.
Long live open source!
- Go to System -> Optional features and verify that Notepad is listed and if it isn't add it.
- Go to Apps -> Advanced settings for apps -> App executions aliases and disable Notepad.
- Enjoy the classic notepad again.

"I'm tired of being shit on by these catholic priests."
"Oh bro you should totally switch to buddhism."
This is what all you Linux proselytizers sound like.
I don't want an alternative, I want a goddamn solution to my problem.
I guess you should stop going to church then would be the answer to your analogy

If your problem is proprietary computing getting increasingly bloated, invasive and esoteric then Linux is the solution. You sound like a battered wife making excuses for her husband.
