- hoistbypetard 2y agoWhenever I need to live on a Windows system for any length of time, I install [notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org https://notepad-plus-plus.org) Do you prefer Notepad3 over Notepad++, and can you share why if so?
- krylon 2y agoI am an emacs user at heart, but when I was using Windows at work, I did use Notepad++ from time to time, it handled laaaaarge files much more smoothly than emacs.
- alt227 2y agoMost people I know have moved to sublime text from notepad++ https://www.sublimetext.com/ https://www.sublimetext.com/
- leeoniya 2y agoi used NP++ for quite a while for coding. it was good. but i always _also_ replaced the built-in shitty windows notepad with Notepad3. there is less UI clutter than NP++, NP3 starts faster and felt like a better default editor. i think NP3 also kept up to date with recent Scintilla releases while NP++ could be on a 6mo old Scintilla version with various already-fixed bugs.
- DragonMaus 2y agoI actually went in the opposite direction. I replace notepad.exe with AkelPad[0], which perfectly satisfies all of my basic-text-editing needs. If I have to do anything more complex, Neovim is the end-all-be-all. [0] https://akelpad.sourceforge.net/ https://akelpad.sourceforge.net/
- cuanim 2y agoWhat is your alternative to foobar2k on linux ;-;
- thesuitonym 2y agoxmms and qmms are Winamp-like players for Linux.
- ubercow13 2y agofoobar2k works really well in wine. Alternatively deadbeef is quite similar to foobar but without the media library functionality.
- autoexec 2y agodeadbeef looks good!
- mmh0000 2y agofoobar2000 I use it daily, runs great through WINE.
- sombragris 2y agoI use Audacious since it has a nice Qt interface and comes standard with my distro, but yes, the closest thing to foobar2000 in Linux would be DeadBeef.
- gravescale 2y agoJust started using Plasma. It really is very very nice. Quite a few handy-looking KRunner plugins are still on Plasma 5 though, which is a bit sad. I've been on i3 for a while and have meant to do some rofi tooling but KRunner seems very nice.
- klaussilveira 2y agofoobar2000!
- inversetelecine 2y ago"Everything" by voidtools is decent for local searching in my brief time using it. Not FOSS though. https://www.voidtools.com/faq/#what_is_everything https://www.voidtools.com/faq/#what_is_everything
- dcuthbertson 2y agoI've used Everything for many years. It would be nice if it were FOSS. Still, it's always been fast and reliable for me.
- leeoniya 2y agoi preferred things that did not need to maintain an index. searching on an SSD/NVME is fast enough not to have yet another service running in background/eating disk.
- thegabriele 2y agoIn this case what would you suggest?
- listenallyall 2y agoDecent? "Everything" is as close to a perfect piece of GUI software as I've ever seen - simple, extremely fast, unobtrusive, no ads, just works.
