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

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

i am asking this because i want a text editor in windowmanager that does not have the broken gtk font rendering

is there a linux text editor that doesn't use gtk

linux is a wonderful server software for running blades and racks and microservices

it's 100% an intentional and cruel joke as a desktop system

i'm the embodiment of the proof that linux has not been ready for desktop usage since 2004

ok #linux nerds convince me i can give up windows fixing this one 100% dealbreaker for me. why is ms sans serif rendering like shit in scite and not in windowmaker. don't monkey paw me and make it render like shit in both

it's loading the right font, but the hinting is totally fucked up. i have no idea why

year of the linux desktop everybody

we're getting somewhere

systemd considered harmful

i cannot find anything on google for "all bitmap fonts show the same font that isn't the bitmap font i'm selecting" so if any #linux people who would like to convince me that it's any better than windows could shed some light into this feel fre to replyguy me

is there a way to hack a samsung tv that's on the same LAN as me to mute it remotely

linux is hyperconfigurable as long as you have the exact same machine as the maintainer and want the exact same config as the maintainer

yes i have ln-s'ed "70-yes-bitmaps.conf". yes i have rebuilt font config cache. yes windows in 1995 had a better font support

for an operating system that purports to make old devices useful linux sure is allergic to bitmap fonts and resolutions lower than 1920x1080

in an unprecedented groundbreaking move we have decided to run the 2024 elections through an online participation poll and now we are proud to announce that the next president with an overwhelming majority of votes is "See Results"
