5 years ago it was alright as well, or even 10 for that matter.

Sometimes I use it for few minutes when I have nothing better to do, E.g. on a bus, but given the amount of stupid shit I see on it recently it discourages me from using it.

In my house 3 computers are already running Linux (Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, Debian testing on my PC and openSUSE on a family laptop), and I already talked with my dad to install Linux on his personal laptop as well, which is probably going to be Linux Mint (I am planning to replace openSUSE on other laptop with Linux Mint as well, because openSUSE sucks).

You can either uninstall new version of Notepad or return to the old one using some registry trick (look it up).

Or you can download some version of Microsoft Notepad on the internet (probably not really that safe) or even ReactOS Notepad if you really insist of having such simple program, but using I’d recommend to use something like Notepad++ instead.

These are good alternatives for Microsoft’s Notepad and Paint:

1. For Windows:

• Notepad++
• Paint.net

2. For Linux (and other operating systems):

• KWrite (or Kate if you want to have more advanced features like Git integration, project explorer, extensions, etc.)
• Pinta (it recently got a pretty good 3.0 update, with GTK4/Adwaita integration)

That’s actually pretty cool idea. Wasn’t there some effort by Valve to support VR anyway on the Deck?

Laptop is hardly a whole desk setup though. AR is potentially going to be much better than using clunky laptops.

Nah, because it’s communism /s

The best move in algebraic chess notation killed me. Maybe some day I will beat this game dammit!

What if you can only reincarnate to ‘conscious’ species? We can even go further than that and say that you can only reincarnate to ‘conscious’ individuals, meaning that most people could technically be literal NPC’s.

Barely any. Just Poland (my country), Czechia, Slovakia and technically Austria (for few hours).

I definitely want to go to Baltics (Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia), Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria in the relatively near future, but I haven’t even explored my country that much, so it’s also on my bucket list.

The biggest problem is that I don’t really have anyone to travel with, so for most of my life I just didn’t do that, and only recently (couple of years ago) I have started to do it, but still very rarely.

I really hate how designer(s) of this page decided to included obnoxious animated transition between pages.

Find some hobby, and get in touch with people who you can talk about it with them, or do some activities together.

Year ago I found out that going to various language meetings is perfect for me. Not only I practice my non-native languages (English and Russian), I also socialize more than ever.

In PowerShell most common cmdlets for basic operations have aliases by default. And funnily enough you can use both Windows (cmd.exe) and Unix shell names for these. (copy vs cp, del vs rm, etc.)

AFAIK The cmdlets that you use only by Verb-Noun convention are mostly used in scripts, or in some administration tasks.

I also think that some poeple miss the point of PowerShell, as it’s not supposed to be worked with like with Unix shells, since it’s more object-oriented than string-oriented.

Why not use something like Notepad++ or KWrite?

I don’t think it’s OS dependent.

TIL.

I am using Debian stable, since I no longer care about having latest stuff and the whole Debian-like ecosystem is what I am the most familiar with. As for Ubuntu I never had good experience with it, with random crashes all the time last time I used it (about 10-12 years ago), and when I tried it last year, I encountered random crashes in GNOME apps just after finishing setup.

Linux Mint (regular or LMDE) is what I’d probably install on other people computers though. Literally never had problems with it (used it about 10 years ago on a netbook).

Yeah, but will updates work? And even if they do, what’s stopping Microsoft in disabling them somehow?

Nowadays if you want to have usable Windows installation you need to use a bunch of 3rd party scripts that might break on next update. Learning Linux is easier than this shit.

I can’t wait for someone to ask me how to solve some shit in Windows, and me saying that I don’t have patience for this crap.
