Notepad++ and never look back.
Crying in Linux 😢
You will use vim and like it. 40 lashes if you have to look up what the hot keys are
:x
Oh my
Notepadqq
Just use nano or vim
You can get it to work under linux, via Play on linux for example. It won’t be exactly integrated experience, but it works.
just use geany or something else…u can customize it to be as useful as notepad++

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! 👍 👍 👍
Jesus christ.
There should be AI Jesus in the bible!
Is nothing sacred?
At least that’s one use case that Linux will always be awesome for - editing plain text without added bullshit (excepting any keyboard shortcuts you need to learn to save or exit, depending on your editor, lol).
And you can obviously do that on windows with any number of third party apps. But not having the basic clean text editor included in the base OS install just seems wrong.
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).
Maybe windows should just fully embrace containers for as much backwards compatibility as possible.
Microsoft is in conflict with itself if web apps, modern native apps, or classic native apps are the future. That’s why even different Microsoft applications feel as or even more disconnected from each other than using KDE applications under Gnome.
Looks like MS still has the culture of don’t-make-more-work-for-the-boss.
But still no AI in the calculator. Why is that Microsoft?
I predicted you wanted to multiply your answer by 1.2x. No need to thank me!!
No! Fucj you! I should have known the minute Microsoft started making you log in to use notepad windows was dead but this is unacceptable, note pad has exactly one purpose, to be as simple as possible. If I want Ai I will use any of a thousand other programs but keep my notepad sacred!
Wtf you have to login to use notepad now? Wtf???
Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!
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.
