Cool, I will spend time on it. From what I see, v24 is when gitea and forgejo went their own routes.

Has anyone have personal experience moving off of gitea and using forgejo

I’d love to do this but it’s hard to find any written experiences yet.

;Edit: I will probably just try it

I have used QuiteRSS extensively, but switched to RSSGuard recently.

No major issue with QuiteRSS, but I like how RSSGuard deals with rendering the article without any need for custom CSS.

Thank you for the awesome comment.

As mentioned a few times here, its between Kate and Sublime although it looks like it will be Sublime unless Zed becomes good soon.

I did not renew my office license since a year for this exact reason. Though it is good, I could not justify it anymore. I am slow-exploring Calc.

I am done with Visual Studio faster and before other lesser dealbreakers. I will get to use it in any work environments anyway. Personal and OSS Dev will be done on a Jetbrains Rider.

Wrt One drive, I am keeping it as an eventual piece of puzzle for a nice backup strategy along side others like Borg etc. I will explore Nextcloud once again.

Glad to know your experience. Once I have the stable resilient setup I will definitely explore flatpaks. Thank you again!

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Glad to know it is easy. I play it at a glacial pace, probably once or twice a year, so I have many months before I embark on that journey.

Whoa, thank you for the elaboration. As I said in another comment, I was vim user for a short time but it may take a long time to use it again. I don’t rule out vim from my OSS life. Who knows what will transpire :)

Yes, great times for us. It takes time to get up to speed, but the important thing is to keep at it.

VS Code has gotten really fast recently but it is more of a combination of having the right plugin (TextFX in this case) and the general fastness. Someone should ideally just port that TextFX. I thought about doing that a lot of times, but it was a lack of time + lack of skill issue :)

Again I do use VS Code for the occasional frontend work. It is great but for all heavy duty manipulation sometime really is off in VS Code. It could be that I haven’t out of inertia tried too much.

I don’t know if I can qualifiedly explain what it is about the plugins, they work well and have sane defaults. Notepad++ with all its custom panels, that plugins create a quite a clunkiness in there, but having those separate panels sometimes gives it a unique and flexible usage experience.

About the edit thing, there are just so many options that sometimes I forget that TextFx plugin exists. There are 100 or so options in that edit menu neatly categorized into sub menus like Insert, Copy, Indent, Line Operations, Blank Operations, Auto-completion, Paste Special, On Selection, Multi-select All, etc each having 5 to 7 operations.

Line Operations for example has these:

Duplicate Current Line
Remove Duplicate Lines
Remove Consecutives Duplicate Lines
Split Lines
Join Lines
...
Reverse Lines
Randomize Lines
...
Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascendlng

and 10 or more 

Another great thing is the whole design and the options around managing bookmarks while searching. I should write a blog post on it :)

It is a steam game, so I know that it should technically work. I haven’t gotten around to actually installing steam yet. Some day in a year or so ;)

Yeah, I got the understanding from another comment on here. I will put it in my list to research.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I never distro-hopped much, but still got to try Ubuntu a few times while always using Debian Testing. After a point, I had all the things I needed on Debian Stable and the few that I needed, I learnt how to use backports or makedeb etc. Kubuntu is pretty great. My own Debian journey was probably like Lubuntu > Mint > Debian Testing for a long time > Debian Stable rest of the life. If it works for you Kubuntu is still great. No need to switch to Debian unless there is a strong reason.

As for flatpak and snap, I have my reservations. I go out of my way to avoid them and find either packaged version or try the source install. However, I am not completely averse to them. I still think if someday I need flatpak only software in my workflow, I would have no qualms to use it.

Haha yeah! :)

Thank you and I wish you a similar or better success soon. Yes, I do wish to share the writings on this here slow and steadily.

Yes, that is exactly what it was. A way to link some phone stuff like SMS, some apps’ notifications to Linux workstation. I have read about KDE connect. I am on a plain xorg + tiling wm setup and looking for solutions similar to KDE Connect but without need for KDE.

Agree on all counts about Notepad++ “oldness”

• slower when we have 100 files open
• clunky
• rigid
• old GUI paradigms ( settings modal, find modal etc)
• inflexible and less customizable UI chrome area

Few things I like about Notepad++ enough to actually keep on using it on work workstations:

• Plugins ecosystem. I am too entrenched into it.
  • PoormansSqlFormatter
  • Tidy2
  • JSTool
  • XML Tools
  • ComparePlus
  • TextFx2
• great built-in editing operations Edit > EOL
• great bookmarking operations
• Very active development
• Way faster than VS Code for text manipulation tasks

Geany with Plugins with is great but misses out on the above stuff

Sublime is the only one and I could use it for a serious amount of time. I only went back because I could not often get it installed in some enterprises.

I have tried notepadqq, it is a bit promising, but I don’t think it can use the npp plugins yet. Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

I know of TextAdept and loved it when I used it years back. Loved the extensibility part. Unfortunately could not stick to it mostly due to plugins IIRC.

There should be other options.

Like Chomp, chimp etc.

Yes, yes. This is me. I also love a quote adjacent to curiousity.

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.
