I'd rather be a cool person, using Linux because it's the best OS, not
to show off tech skill.  I might get buttfucked a lot but I have an
awesome computer.

If I buy a 2TB SSD which advertises hardware encryption, I can enable 
said protection on Windows 11 if I go through a few (rather complicated) 
steps. That same SSD, under Linux, does not support hardware encryption.

If you aren't aware, software encryption slows an SSD's random writes 
and reads _significantly_. A benchmark on Tom's Hardware suggests that 
it's up to 45%, but it is actually closer to about 400%. Meanwhile, 
hardware encryption provides you all of the protection and doesn't slow 
the storage down at all.

That's why Windows is superior.

More bullshit from the brain-dead bullshitter.

Linux fully supports SED, or self-encrypting drives:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Self-encrypting_drives

From the link:

"The kernel supports OPAL self-encrypting drives via the BLK_SED_OPAL 
option."

"sedutil is "an Open Source (GPLv3) effort to make Self Encrypting Drive 
technology freely available to everyone."


I don't know anything about these techniques because I don't give a flying
fuck about drive encryption, especially with that gimmicky junk technology
known as SSD.

Providing false information, like this RottenSausage just did, should be
a punishable offense.  Perpetrators should be hung up by their thumbs and
whipped with strands of barbed wire.

He's permanently butthurt because I exposed him as a programming dud, 
serial plagiarizer and boastful, no compunction liar.

I believe Feeb is also mentally ill, ala Rex Ballard, and has fantasies 
that he's making significant contributions to computer science.

Larry does some OK things but there does approach a point where he's

I don't know all of Office 365, but the part containing Outlook is the
worst shit I ever saw. Use it only if you can't do differently. It's
horrible. I don't like outlook on the desktop, but at least, it's
usable. And compared with outlook in office 365 it looks wonderful.

The only time I ever used M$ Office was when I had to at work. I could have 
bought it for $14 for home use once (company deal) and I had zero interest 
in it. Just bloatware in my opinion. As for Notepad++, I use Jstar for just 
about everything. If I wanted something that looks something like Notepad++ 
I would probably look into Kate (K Advanced Text Editor). But I'm not 
looking for a Notepad++ clone. Have no need for it.

Programming never had Office loaded on our Windows machines by IT. We 
didn't really need it and licenses cost money. LibreOffice was good 
enough.

We were on our own for the Linux machines. IT would drop off a bare metal 
box and run.

Honestly, my favorite GUI editor is actually featherpad. It doesn't
natively let you compile stuff, but it does have syntax highlighting
which is really nice.

When you have LO and WPS Office, and gedit and Kate, DFS's
proclamations of running Win10/11 even on a computer like mine is just
not having the best appreciation.

You've been beaten down multiple times on this, since 2010.  LO and WPS 
Office can't compete with MS Office.

Here are the programmer editor features I really would rather not do 
without:

1 block commenting - insert or remove a comment symbol in front of a
   selected block of lines
2 line sort operations
3 show symbols (mainly end of line and tabs)
4 function list
5 change tab sizing
6 language syntax highlighting
7 column mode (might be called block selection)
8 search across folders/multiple documents.

Advanced editors have most or all those features, plus a million more.


I downloaded Kate for Windows (24.08.0, thru the MS Store) and gave it a 
try.  It's very, very good.


1  it does block commenting

2  kate sorts lines (right-click | Editing | Sort Selected Text Alpha),
    but won't sort these correctly:

line 29
line 3

29th line
3rd line

29 line
3 line

Notepad++ does, with the 'Sort Lines as Integers' option


3  kate shows tab marks by default (but I couldn't find a way to show
    end of line characters).

4  found function list in Settings | Configure Kate | Plugins | Symbol
    Viewer

5  change tab size in Settings | Configure Kate | Editing | Indentation
    | Tabulators

6  of course kate has syntax highlighting, for dozens of languages

7  kate slightly outdoes Notepad++ on column mode / block selection.
    With Notepad++ you have to hold down left Alt and drag, with kate
    there's a check box to turn it off and on.  So it's a little easier
    to do block selection in kate.

8  kate will search / replace in multiple files / in a folder



kate has some other nice features:
* appearance, color and theme settings that are easy to use.
* there's a little clickable breadcrumb line at the top of the open file
   showing the directory structure.  Cool!
* the mini-map to the right of the screen makes scrolling easier

niggles:
* bloated: kate uses 46MB of memory vs 17MB for Notepad++
* slower than Notepad++
* I don't like the Welcome screen that comes up by default (edit - found
   a way to turn it off)
* far fewer plugins than available with Notepad++


Based on my limited usage, kate is a really good editor I could live 
with in Linux.

I'm too young for vim, and my goatee is too short.

Very incomplete.  Here's a Vim book:

    https://www.iopb.res.in/vimbook-OPL.pdf

572 pages, 35 of that being an index. You can also buy a number of physical
books from outlets such as O'Reilly. One has a section "vi for MS Word and
Outlook".

Excel not only is impossible to give up, it is the best tool that has 
appeared since PCs took over.

Anyone who doesn't have an intense need for Excel is either doing 
nothing in life, or is doing a lot at the "ant" level :)
