In the last few days I learned that a lot of things are not from the US

Have you heard of VLC ? ๐Ÿ˜‰

[โ€“] LorIps@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

VLC has more features, MPV is neater.

[โ€“] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I liked VLC years ago, but MPC-BE is my favorite by far.

[โ€“] lemmlinger@feddit.org 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice I use it since ,,~2012 . Still the same, no bloat, no BS text editor

For it's small overhead, it's pretty customizable from what it looks like out of the box.

Kate, FOSS editor, part of KDE Plasma (German):

NGL, I've always thought it was a Windows program, since it's in my work pc where I'm forced to use Microsoft ecosystem. I couldn't understand how a Microsoft app could be this lightweight, fast and useful

A favorite of mine for years. I wish there was an Android version.

[โ€“] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I wish there were a Linux version!

[โ€“] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Part of what makes notepad++ so good is the way it leverages what windows does already.

It would be an entirely different beast to port it like for like but there are options that are โ€œnearโ€

[โ€“] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Kate is good, and VSCodium works well but is much more than I need usually. Luckily there are lots of options!

[โ€“] MurrayL@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wish there was a macOS version! (Same for Paint.NET.)

[โ€“] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

YES! paint.net is also excellent! GIMP is way more capable than I usually need.

[โ€“] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It took me years of using GIMP to understand it well enough to stop booting into Windows just to use Paint.net

[โ€“] sfjvvssss@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have been using Notepadqq for some time and enjoyed it.

[โ€“] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

That looks good, thank you. I'd never heard of it.

[โ€“] Lauchs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I love ++, so good!

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Similarly, Sublime Text is Australian.

[โ€“] Fabian@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Cool, but it sadly lacks many features of other editor. I would personally prefer other open source editors

[โ€“] Propheticus@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are plenty of plugins for the most niche tasks, languages, codepages, git/svn integration, etc. I like Compare plus for advanced diff functionality.

I'm surprised to hear complaints about a lack of features. Do people expect a program with "notepad" in the name to be a full-fledged IDE?

[โ€“] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

What other editor are you referring to and features?

[โ€“] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I like this textual editor

[โ€“] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

Hell yeah, been using it for years, it's incredible.
