Yes, and their donations are limited to 100k a year per corporation/organization

Interesting that they did that.

Debian testing is not rolling. Sid/unstable is.

I am pretty sure you can just remove the Notepad app on Windows 11 (not sure about Windows 10 though), or at least that’s what I did on VM. It removes the context menu option for creating a new text file (using new Notepad), but it restores old notepad that you can run by just runnning notepad in Run prompt (Win+R), or by making simple shortcut.

Who cares? It does the same thing, maybe except not having different font support and printing.

Is Microsoft not aware what Notepad is actually used for?

The best thing to do is to convert you closest family and friends. If you’re “the computer guy” the chances are you need to support their shitty computers anyway, so you might as well support an OS which is easier to maintain.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Why would anyone who wants to write a simple letter or some other basic stuff in Word (which is what most of home users do) want any of this crap?

That is way more sensible, than the other way around.

No, OS makers should just not make their OS bloated with useless shit, stealing your data and have arbitrary system requirements. I think 15 years of OS updates is excessive unless we’re talking about servers or very specific workflows. IMO 5-10 years is enough.

That said, for some operating systems it doesn’t even make sense to support for THAT long, because how they are designed (A lot of Linux distros for example). It turns out, if you don’t break users’ workflow, they don’t mind to upgrade.

Linux is great for two kinds of people:

• Ones who only use web browser, and maybe listen to music/watch movies on their computer (so probably majority of people);

• Ones who have time and energy to tinker with their computer, because doing anything that’s beyond the before-mentioned tasks will eventually make user do CLI stuff, to fix shit.

I mean, there are only two three realistic options (four if you are that one BSD user):

• Either you use Windows and let Microsoft spy on you (or rely on unbloating scripts which might eventually break your OS and not even block all Microsoft spyware in the first place);

• You buy overpriced Mac computer, that might also spy on you, who knows;

• You use Linux.

It doesn’t matter what the license say, because GitHub TOS (that everybody agree on when registering their account) explicitly allows forking any project hosted on GitHub, regardless of the project’s license.

It doesn’t matter what he does, because any project on GitHub can be forked, and it’s in their TOS.

By creating a project there, he agreed to that TOS, so he can’t disallow forks, simple as that.

Since it’s an open source project, it’s pretty easy to make a fork and readd Linux support.

I completely forget that this should be a feature.

That’s what I usually do, but it’s annoying when I specially need to get my hand on keyboard to do that.

You mean Certified UNIX 03 operating system, and only when you modify the system so much, that it becomes unusable.

Non-corporate users use Ubuntu? Last time I tried it, I have encountered bugs on day one, and I nearly instantly switched to random distro with KDE (openSUSE, which also I dislike btw).

Also I have very ‘fond’ memories of using it in about 2011-2013 where the program crashing message is burnt into my mind, because how often it appeared, and sometimes even the error reporting tool was crashing for some reason.

The only thing that I would like to find in this menu is a “Find” feature, where the Find function opens up with selected text as input. You can’t how many times I would expect to have this function there and I was disappointed.

Why can’t you exercise?
