Lol, just today i noticed Copilot was on notepad, and rushed to disable that thing. Fuck Microsoft
Someone made a notepad++ package that runs through Wine, it's on snap. Haven't tried it though.
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plusnotepadqq is the "fan-made" linux version of notepad++ for linux
Sublime is pretty popular too but i dont like it
I like Kate.
Yeah. First I felt sorry for leaving Notepad++ behind, but then I got introduced to Kate. Kate is awesome and so flexible.
Now even my wife loves Kate.
Seems like a great thing at first, y'know, wife AND Kate? Awesome!
Next thing you know, it's "Kate does this, why don't you?" and "You don't satisfy me the way Kate does", then "Kate and I are going to go on a cruise together." Before you know it, it's "I think it's time we took a break, I need to focus on my relationship with Kate"; before you know it, you're living by yourself in a van down by the river!
Yeah,indeed the wife and Kate were on a business trip together, but I don't mind. The wife hates Cruises though and the woods here a wonderful.
This. Kate is awesome!
