Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it's the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there's shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people like to shit on them (and I loved it).

I installed Linux mint in dual boot configuration, which had some problems getting working (aka not easy). I haven't used it much mostly because notepad++ isn't available outside of emulation and ubuntu's repo. I tried like all the Linux notepads' and didn't like them because they lacked notepad++ functionalities I wanted. I really want to drop windows, but cannot right now.

Did notepadqq not work out? It's a great look-alike of notepad++ but i admit i haven't used it that much.

Tired it and it didn't have the features I wanted. Last I looked, the description said they are in the process of implementing them.
