@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
@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.
@abeltramo i just want fonts to not look like this, if you had been following the saga https://computerfairi.es/@mavica_again/111661866229294061
