if i want a gui text editor that doesn't use gtk for the sole reason that gnome has not learned in 20 years how to render fonts in a half competent way and you tell me to use vim or emacs i'll make you use windows 95 for a week to learn to use a mouse
2024 linux still to this day has no equivalent to Windows 3.11 Microsoft paint or Microsoft notepad and honestly that's very sad for an operating system that is still trying to break into the desktop market started by apple in 1983 with the Lisa
@mavica_again as for notepad there are so many alternatives on Linux that it's really hard to say there are no options; notepad++, kate, gedit, vscode.. Virtually any distro comes with a pre-installed text editor!
@abeltramo see my previous posts about each one of those options
@mavica_again I'm pretty sure that Kate and vscode do not use gtk if that's what you are referring to.
@abeltramo Kate tries to install the whole of kde which i don't want and vscode might be a bit overkill
@abeltramo i'm using windowmaker
@abeltramo i just want fonts to not look like this, if you had been following the saga https://computerfairi.es/@mavica_again/111661866229294061
@mavica_again I've never used it, but it sure doesn't look like a project that cares about graphical definition.
Maybe instead of complaining about "linux" as a whole, complain about a specific feature missing from a very specific project next time? Just my 2 cents..
@mavica_again if Gnome doesn't work for you, maybe you should switch to KDE or another DE. That's the beauty of having freedom of choice and multiple competing projects.
Nobody is forcing you to use Linux btw, it's doesn't come pre-installed in almost every computer on the planet.
