from screenshots it looks very similar to joe's own editor, with the same old-school wordstar-style help at the top. (joe has a binding called jstar where it gets loaded up with wordstar style defaults) I personally also like ne, the nice editor the menus there are configurable and you can theoretically make different ones for different modes of use. Ne also has a small enough codebase that you can easily bring in your own patches.
Yeah I just wanted to copy some music off a messy USB stick real quick without using wacky commands.
Yeah, despite the best efforts of the free software community, the Nano people have managed to make a quite beginner-friendly and common sense editor. I use Vim a lot and still for a ton of simple stuff I still just default to nano.
w3m is, I think, the most compatible with modern websites. A lot of the other text-based browsers have been abandoned.
vimtutor at the command line. They're also both older than dirt so there's tons of online documentation for both. Personally, I use vim or Spacemacs (a config collection for emacs), because I like the modes and I have mnemonics for the keys I use, and once I adapted to vim I stopped moving through text a character at a time and instead search for where I want to be and only use hjkl for fine tuning.Try
:%y from normal mode.
It's because most people seem to use the retard-proof proton, but also things on appdb probably don't get updated because almost everything works fine. People play mostly games and all games these days seem to be either unity3d or unreal engine and they work mostly just fine in wine. It's rare to come across something that doesn't work, just about how it was rare to come across stuff that actually works back then. I'd also look into vk3d. Installing windows native .dlls is also almost never needed these days.
For like general software or what we asking about? I'd suggest either trying crossover or bottles for messing with regular windows software. It's honestly gonna be a hit or miss tbh since some software does some weird buku magic on windows anyway. My best recommendation is if it doesn't work with either of those then just fire up a windows virtual machine with something like QEMU & virt-manager.
Teams has a native Linux install. I'm not sure if it's 100% but it certainly seems just as annoying as the Windows version.
Huh huh huh. I agree teams fucking sucks but the web interface is less gay than the app version. That said one thing I've discovered is nativefier which basically slaps any website into a little sandbox purely for that website, works fucking great too since any external links open in your regular web browser. Take twitch for example, easier to just sandbox that blasted site & if I click a link for anything it redirects to my regular browser which is heavily configured firefox for obvious reasons. Might do the same with etrade so I can manage my stocks.
I fully understand not wanting your job to know. Living on the edge is for Ted Bundy thots with wet panties. Teams might work for your since they do have the native linux app but I'd give nativefier a try since you can sandbox in into a little portable app based on your machine, all cookies an everything are included in that specific folder if you generate it right. Also if you mean outlook email service then any old email client should be fine like thunder of clawsmail "if you hate yourself like I do". If you mean the outlook email client app then I'm not entirely sure to be completely honest. You could give it a try & let us know. I would hold out too much hope on microsoft office suite. I mean you may get lucky but even if it runs I would highly expect some really fucked up errors with it. Here, give this a shot, see if you can get your software running with it since it has 3 settings for a gaming environment, software, then custom. Easy to pick dependancies you might need & what not.
Basically it's an IDE for Boomers.
Emacs is not a text editor with LISP for macros. Emacs is a LISP interpreter with a text editor hidden away inside it.
This is correct. It's also a Linux-ism. Other systems like FreeBSD don't count iowait as load.
Yep. Default Ubuntu install burns a ton of CPU and RAM doing fucking nothing. I eventually got to a point where it was more work to install Ubuntu and strip it down, than install Debian minimal and build it up.
My vote is for Fluxbox. Fun themes. Super nice to configure.
Focus-follows-mouse is fucking awesome. Type into a window partly underneath another window because you don't need to see all of it right now.
Imagine, in the year of Our Lord 2022, a text editor that used only 8MB of RAM.
Also, if your terminal is broken/misconfigured and your meta keys don't work, you can still edit text files (possibly ones that will unbreak this) without using meta keys.
I love the befuddled looks when I sit someone at my shell and they try to:
$ mc
bash: mc: command not found$ vim
bash: vim: command not found$ vi
bash: vi: command not found
No idea, I'm not a Mac guy. I didn't think you could even open Apple products to extend memory or replace stuff.
