I'm using Notepad++ on Windows

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just move to Linux at this point

[–] wasabi@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

To be fair, Notepad++ is an excellent piece of software, and I still miss it on Linux. Specifically, I miss the feature that can highlight the same text strings in different colors throughout a document. It's valuable when going through logs while troubleshooting something.

Can't this be done with Kate?

I feel like almost everything can be done with Kate if you find the right setting. I think you can get it to knit you a sweater!

Aside from the 3 top right icons (probably) not showing correctly it seems to run. But I never used it, so I don't know what to test in there.

I would love to, but I need to use solidworks for my job.

I could virtualize it, but I also need to use MS apps like Teams, and at that point I'd just be in the windows vm 100% of the time anyway.

But this doesn't prevent me from learning Linux at home!

There are wrappers to run teams directly on Linux. Works like charm.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 22 hours ago

That's pretty impressive since teams barely even runs on windows.

I can't even remember using anything else. Certainly not Notepad.
