    the new app-flavoured notepad sucks.

    go into its settings, turn off everything.

        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.

          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.

      Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.

        And that’s an issue, it prevents all productive discussion on a topic. You’re not going to get more users when it’s known echo chambers.

        Should be treated as trolling when it’s used to derail topics, which is what it is.

        This is fair and warranted.

        Also, to be fair, Windows is a trash-tier piece of software that become little but adware/spyware in a trenchcoat, masquerading as an operating system. I ran an install in a VM a couple of weeks ago for the first time in nearly two decades and even the basic installation process is on par with the WinXP alpha (before the installer was ready), requiring extra driver disks and software just to be able to think about installing. I had to fight with UEFI and Grub to get Arch to boot alongside Fedora the other day and that was a much more enjoyable process.

    I hate autocorrect in general. It doesn’t understand the concept of multiple languages in the same text, it doesn’t understand dialects and sometimes it even tries to correct words that are written correctly. One of the first things I turn off on every new device

      They have a library you can edit, they’re meant for the masses, and you can obviously customize it to your exact preferences.

      I would love to turn it off on everything, but on-screen keyboards are almost entirely useless without it.

      I miss my SGH-T699 “Relay”, and its 5-row slider. It’s the only phone I’ve bought more than once; I wore out three of them.
