If you want full access to Notepad, Microsoft now requires users to pay, with the new changes to 40-year-old software adopting the 'freemium' model.

    vscodium fixes the privacy anyway. It’s always open so startup times are no issue for me.

    I still prefer to keep a stripped down, basic text editor though. Ah well, I’m not on windows so no big deal.

      At the cost of some features not working (e.g. Pylance, which is the default Python extension, as well as others by MS).

        For plain text, either nano on CLI or whatever built in basic text editor comes with LMDE.

        Windows I used notepad, from now on I’ll add ++ :)
