    Having QoL features that 95% of people need and use is considered “not working” now? A larger percentage of people would say a text program without a spellcheck or auto correct would be broken.

    This Linux circle jerking on Lemmy has gotten beyond exhausting. Options exist for everyone’s preference, it’s not broken because it’s defaulted on and you’re too stupid/ignorant to change a setting.

      … On notepad?

      Oh come on, use some word editor if you need autocorrect. Notepad is a quick fast text editor that is mostly used for script editing and small stuff, its supposed to be just a plain text editor.

      Having said that, I will shut up but still think that notepad never needed a rehaul.

        Rehaul? This stuff has been part of the program for decades…

        A text editor should have basic functions, if you just want a text editor, do it in command prompt or a web link entry.

        It’s never supposed to have been a plain text editor, where did you get this asinine idea from?

            No it wasn’t? You’re saying a program what has had features for decades shouldn’t have them… you’re just talking out of your ass.

            Other programs fit that niche, this one doesn’t need to be neutered to make it like all the rest. Options exist, stop trying to make everything the fucking same?

            Notepad has always been a word editor, and your only point was it’s not… which is just plain false.

              On windows 10 notepad is just plain old notepad, the same since ever. When did it got all those extra features in the last 10 years?

              But see, we are debating notepad and not recommending Linux, at least…

              (Indeed you ate right, I was referring to something I only thought and didn’t wrote: that there would be somebody fretting over how notepad had to have text correction capabilities, and you did, but I didn’t write that, so my answer did not make sense. Probably I am not making sense either now, whatever)

      you’re too stupid/ignorant to change a setting.

      I think you’re too stupid/ignorant to get Linux working. What kind of moron defends windows here? I think the kind that can’t understand a command line and only knows how to click boxes. Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with being stupid, but don’t be stupid and think you’re smart. That’s embarrassing.

        What? I’m not defending windows, I’m defending a program with features you can change on and off to customize it to your preference, and it defaulting to what most users need.

        If you can’t get a word program working, the fuck you think someone’s gonna do with Linux? Lmfao, you people are getting wild, and this shits getting old. You’re turning people away with this echo chamber bullshit.

        The fact someone upvoted this fucking garbage is concerning as fuck about this community.

        Go bloviate about Linux where people want it, you’re ruining discussions you troll.

          My comment was a reply in kind of your comment calling others stupid. I even quoted you to point that out. I guess I should have drawn a picture because you still didn’t get it.

          And you get upset about 1 upvote. That’s pretty pathetic.
