As long as you can uninstall Recall, not a chance.

As long as I'm forced to use thunar or dolphin or any of the other
crapware file managers I've tried, not a chance.

As long as I'm forced into a substandard programming editor, not a
chance (Geany is decent, but Notepad++ is the best)

As long as there's no office software as good as MS Office, not a chance.

etc

You know, for however many years Windows records a lot of your activity:

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/computer_activity_view.html

"This tool gathers information from various sources, including the
Registry, the events log of Windows, the Prefetch folder of Windows
(C:\windows\Prefetch), the MiniDump folder of Windows
(C:\Windows\Minidump), and more..."

No screenshots, but more details than I would want a stranger to see.

I presume you can get the same type of info from Linux log files.

At some point I'll give Recall a try if it's free, but I can't imagine
why I would want to store such a detailed record of my computer usage.

It's just cola and porn 16 hours a day anyway.

My editor of choice on Windows is Notepad++. It has a ton of features I
don't use, but a subset I won't go without: block commenting and
uncommenting, several line sort operations, show symbols, function list,
tab sizing, syntax highlighting, column mode, search across
folders/multiple documents.

I once spent most of a day writing code only on MousePad on Linux, so I
can adapt to a lesser editor. But why should anyone have to lower their

I built that years ago to:
* smack down that LibreOffice junk
* show Feeb how to access info very quickly via GUI. The idiot thinks
users should write their own SQL if they want information.

I may do a quick rewrite of it in PyQt and SQLite, which should run
unchanged on Linux.

Hey, why don't you give the simple challenge a try? Just so you know,
it cannot be done in that piece of crap LibreOffice, so don't waste your

Not quite there yet for .NET. There was a WX.NET for wxWidgets but that
died years ago. Note that I'm focusing on .NET as a cross platform
technology. ASP.NET and CLI apps are fine on Linux but GUIs have been the
drawback.

As far as QT I hope the Qt Company is a little more together than

Bloated, inefficient, and not as compatible as claimed.

I would take your word for it ...

I certainly wouldn't and I use it almost every day.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

It was claimed to be able to run Jupyter notebooks. Turns out it doesn’t
do that very well. It’ll stick to the real Jupyter.

I personally won't touch it anymore after they forced AI stuff even
harder than usual.

Oh, I wouldn't judge them overly harshly, Win11 sucks balls, unless
you have an i9 with 64 GB RAM (or a very recent i5 or better), but VS
Code looked pretty cool (I don't specifically use it, since I don't
really code anymore, but it would be worth giving a fair chance, I
think), it shows they really do support Linux. And Skype has Copilot
for Linux, which is AI without the Win11 bloatware requirement. I
don't hate M$, I am just selective about software use.

And they did it without using any of their own much-vaunted GUI
development tools. Instead they built it out of Electron, of all things.

Vote of confidence in your own platform, much?

And it runs on Windows, Macs, Linux, and even the Arm64 Debian derivative
used for Raspberry Pi OS.

chance (Geany is decent, but Notepad++ is the best)

A lot of programmers on Linux use it, but it's too heavy and crammed-
interface for my tastes.
