NOTEPAD++ 8.1.1 release for Windows now finally has Dark Mode! I love this program and it's the only thing I think I'll actually miss from Windows if/when I finally migrate to Mint.

I mostly used it when I was learning HTML a year ago, very nice program. After 2025 I probably will migrate to Linux too (PopOS), I will use Reactos as my second OS so I can run windows apps.

When you migrate to mint, you can have vim and emacs. If you're ready to dive into one of these (either rather shallow or extremely deep) rabbitholes you'll never miss notepad again. At least this happened to me. When i had emacs configured to full satisfaction i wept for a week when i lost the configuration because of a hdd headcrash. But since we're now living in times where ssd's and flash is everywhere i suppose you'll never encounter this problem.

There's hope for you yet.

Hope?
My old computers: Bliss, Caprice, Desiré.
My current computers: Epiphany, Felicity - and Grace with Mint largely unused for a couple years (for awkward reasons) before finally becoming Cassandra.
If I could afford a new PC or two I'd have Grace and Hope - both with Mint.
Also, in /s/BittersweetSeeds the A.I. is called vHOPE. Yesterday I heard about a new HOPE operation on the Corbett/Webb interview. Pissed me off.

Nice computer names. I'm just stoked that you use notepad++
This one rolls on windows and linux, every 10 saves it nags you to buy it: https://www.sublimetext.com/

Sublime is like you gave up and finally only did frontend.
Sorry when i have to reattach your heads this way.
And btw: i name my machines after what they actually are: so a Nokia 5.4 is a smartphone. An x240 is a notebook. There is only one machine that actually against this convention is named "enterprise". @enterprise. I hope one you can wrap your heads around network aliases because there is a reason why i only shorten one id.
EVERY backend guy, i know will rather use vim. And if he has some balls on him he even will try emacs.
But you're excused so far as i suppose you never did erlang.

You're right, I've never coded in Erlang. I did try LISP once upon a time though.
I'm done with the text editor wars. Anyone who codes without an IDE and deep mouse driven menus to make their code run is fine by me.
Sublimetext actually got me more interested in vim, after learning about fuzzy file finding, and jumping to functions in the same file.

Vim is really nice. It's my standard sw for almost everything. Especially when i got the emacs pinky ache/disease again after abusing it on my laptop where i can't reconfigure the ctrl-button to be on caps-lock. If you're interested in doing emacs and stuff like lisp with it, i suggest you also learn dvorak- (or some other "effiency"-oriented) keyboard config with it from the start, because starting emacs is hard anyways so you just give your learning curve a little more starting offset for a combined exponential payoff in work-efficiency. I bought stickers for dvorak e. g. but now i don't need them anymore.
Another pro on vim is that i so far encountered no distro where it isn't installed out of the box. For emacs this makes no sense because especially when you (re) start with it (e. g. on a new computer) you spend more time configuring it than actually using it.

Dream wives in a computer harem.
I wouldn't name computers after exes. But in a screenplay I do have a space station that blows up made of modules with exes' names. For a couple decades I hadn't noticed but all my main exes names ended with "a" aside from a few spicy ones (Sage, Ginger).

It's the nature of western languages that most female names are ending with an a, i suppose. I e. g. only had one gf whose name didn't end with an an a. She was a Kim. In Germany most female names not ending with an a are considered somewhat exotic, i assume.

It seems that way, but I'd guess there are more that don't end in "a", at least in North America. I think I was just a fluke. My life has also been a lot like "Good Luck Chuck".

Coincidence. My Life has been a lot like "Better call Saul" but anyways you can't call me Jimmy.

Those are my girls. Eventually I'll need an "I" name before Joy, Karma, etc. and maybe some Cassandra's sister names.
I just use it as a fancy notepad with cool features and tools. I don't code or anything.
That actually looks very similar. I'll test it out. I take it that it's FLOSS?

sublimetext is not FLOSS. I'm living in sin!

Worse - you're trying to seduce me with your debauchery. Shame.
You're right. I've embarrassed myself in front of vim users :(

I may have used vim back in the 90s. That was another life.

A true gem of a program.

Yep that's the distro I have installed on one of my PCs in the hope that someday I'll actually make the switch.

try an ntfs partition that both linux and windows can access, that helped my transition. maybe youre just stuck on them vidya games.
Yeah man, I have games to keep me awake when it isn't time to sleep, unstressful games to play when I can't sleep, seems like I either sleep or game.
Thanks for the tip.
