Writing things the wrong way is part of learning, goddamn microsoft.
Work pc so I can’t just change to linux unfortunately
TIL notepad has spell check.
the new app-flavoured notepad sucks.
go into its settings, turn off everything.
Install a VM. Use windows to boot linux.
Just turn the setting off…? Why does Linux need to be brought up?
People on Linux are used to things just working I guess.
Having QoL features that 95% of people need and use is considered “not working” now? A larger percentage of people would say a text program without a spellcheck or auto correct would be broken.
This Linux circle jerking on Lemmy has gotten beyond exhausting. Options exist for everyone’s preference, it’s not broken because it’s defaulted on and you’re too stupid/ignorant to change a setting.
Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.
And that’s an issue, it prevents all productive discussion on a topic. You’re not going to get more users when it’s known echo chambers.
Should be treated as trolling when it’s used to derail topics, which is what it is.
Completely agree. It’s really frustrating, not to mention pretty off-putting regarding Linux.
I knew half of the answers would be “just use linux”
Will it let you install a virtual machine? 🤔

If Notepad++ is a bit too much for what you are looking for You could try Notepad3

It has less features than Notepad++ but has a very similar feel to the old windows notepad with a lot of extra features.
Good luck with your search.
I hate autocorrect in general. It doesn’t understand the concept of multiple languages in the same text, it doesn’t understand dialects and sometimes it even tries to correct words that are written correctly. One of the first things I turn off on every new device
They have a library you can edit, they’re meant for the masses, and you can obviously customize it to your exact preferences.
