Let's discuss high-quality, Windows-specific software packages that have no good Linux alternative.

I still miss notepad++ despite it all. Every other text editor I've tried has at least one gay thing about it in comparison.

https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.htmlHardinfo is the only thing that comes close on linux, but it doesn't show your real time clock speed. I do like that hardinfo at least comes with a full system benchmark.
>>107036659>posts some literal who sneedware insteadAdmit it, anon. there are no good download managers for Linux. All alternatives are either discontinued or lack key features like a working file grabber.
>>107036659https://www.proxifier.com/Troonix pedos and their shitty command promt pozzware can't keep up.

This is a huge technically, because it runs on Linux, but it can't hosthttps://parsec.app/Because ideally, I'd like to make a beefy Linux as an "emulation station" without actually using Emulation Station.
Not sure if Linux has a GUI bulk rename utility as nice as this onehttps://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/
>>107036841>hwmonitorOverall, there is a lack of good GUI software for monitoring the state of hardware on Linux.

>>107036810Whats wrong with Notepad++?

>>107037097>Everything - better than any search tool on Troonix or Crapple*crashes*
https://www.rewasd.com/ReWASD, I don't think linux has anything this good of a remapper. Especially one that fires up per each application rather than making a global remap. Also, for programming macros, like that absurd Ivy Combo on the Soul Calibur series.I think the best Linux has for this is input-mapper, which is global and is clunky as fuck
>>107037141This is the first time I am hearing this particular complaint, as far as I am concerned it it's not particularly prone to crashes any more than other software of similar complexity. And even so at least it does the job of FINDING THE FUCKING FILE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR and do it fast, which is more than can be said about... basically anything else.
>>107036659paint.netpinta sucks ass>>107036810i actually like kate so much i use it on my windows work pc now>>107037171unironically use steam input instead, it's better and free
>>107037191>And even so at least it does the job of FINDING THE FUCKING FILE YOU WERE LOOKING FORUnless you start typing the god damn name of the file and then it crashes and closes halfway through typing it because of buggy code or whatever.I love Everything but the devs gotta step up their game.
>>107037200Can steam input actually do full combos?
how do freetards fail to compete with foobar2000? still? it's baffling, really
>>107037106devs are mentally ill leftist
>>107037238Holy shit really? God damn. I really like N++
>>107037141never happened to me in my 50 years of using it
>>107037106not a rich IDE nor a clean plain text editor. the essence of cope.
>>107037247The problem with the crashing got so bad that I eventually had to use the 1.5a version in order for the app not to crash immediately when starting to type a file name.1.5a is serviceable, but it also crashes when trying to find certain files.
I'm not even gay, but just out of sheer respect, I wouldn't have the courage to deny a handjob if AutoHotkey creators asked me. I respect them and their wonderful software too much to say otherwise.
>>107036944>Not sure if Linux has a GUI bulk rename utility as nice as this one.picrel is the default bulk rename utility on Xfce. It doesn't have a lot of features but it's not bad.
>>107037217good question, i think it can but i can't actually check since i'm at work right now
>>107036987your computer boots up runs five min and shutdowns again thats a bit odd

>>107036659>High quality Windows-specific software
>>107037284that looks god damn abysmal, a hassle to use and still limited in functionality

>>107037240Never seen their version name rants?
>>107037856LMFAOJesus Christ.
>>107036659I don't believe any exist? Got any substantial examples? You'd find free software to be superior simply because it was made by power users for power users. No commercial slop for dumb ass goyim.
>>107037106>Whats wrong with Notepad++?The developers of Notepad++ are a bunch turbo political leftoid retards. Also, Mousepad and xed are great Linux alternatives for Notepad++.
>>107036659foobar2000 & RUFUS, can't really think of anything else.I guess you could say Adobe CC software but it works fine on GNU/+Linux now so it's whatever.
>>107036797>>107036944>>107037282Cause of the history of Linux being used by sweaty nerds who are very familiar with the command line (and the fact that Linux has a decent shell unlike CMD (power shell is okay, but few people know how to use it)), and so they do all of this sort of stuff using the terminal and built-in, free applications. In my experience it’s more flexible (you can pipe in new names, run file names through a script to generate new names, e.t.c.), but the learning curve is higher and it presupposes knowledge of the various commands used. Because of this, there’s a pretty limited number of people interested in GUI driven programs for this sort of thing, power users have tended to just use the terminal
>>107037106Nothing is wrong with it unless you're a politically enraged twitter user. What it's in spite of is the mountain of text editors available on Linux, with a lot of them seeming better in every way on paper. Yet nothing is ever as good.
>>107037106Nothing really, but Windows 11's Notepad literally does everything now, no point in it.
>>107037635Ty anon
>>107038020>Windows 11 Notepad>meanwhile, i'm still on Windows 10wow dude, add that to the list now!
>>107037106Nothing. I just like sublime text 2 better out of the box.
>>107037932>The developers of Notepad++ are a bunch turbo political leftoid retardsdoes it actually impact the software at all? i don't really see why your views need to align with the devs for a text editor for it to work
>>107037880>I don't believe any exist?High-quality CAD programs like AutoCAD are almost non-existent on Linux. Not everyone's use case for computers is as minimal as yours. Most people just need a computer to get their job done.
Windirstat
RawWritehttp://www.chrysocome.net/rawwriteIt fulfills an extremely specific need in my arsenal of miscellaneous utilities, that being writing disk images to floppy disks, both 5.25" and 3.5" ones. It actually more reliably writes images to disks than the piece of shit called WinImage that everyone on Vogons shills like crazy. And RawWrite actually fucking works like a charm with this cheap USB 3.5" drive I bought decades ago. WinImage really doesn't like anything that isn't fixed in my experience. And WinImage spits errors all the time saying a disk is bad and fails to write the images when they're good disks that format with Windows 10's default shell just fine with no bad sectors. But RawWrite actually fucking works most of the time, and it's made getting my old rigs working again so much less of a headache.

>>107038171The only impact is that these messages>>107037856 as an examplecould show up in the release notes (which auto open after updating) or in the Help > About window.I've never seen anything functional-wise that is problematic.

I'm looking for a program that lets you change the thumbnail shown of video files in folders. I found a program called tageditor that does this but it's very limited on which video formats, doesn't work on MKV files, etc. I'm hoping there's a better one out there

>>107037361I use VS mostly for C++ and C#.For C# I know there's Rider which many people seem to like. Anything for C++?For Python, powershell and general scripting (deployment pipelines and shit) I've switched fully to VScode, but I haven't tried the C#/C++ experience yet. I'm assuming VScode on linux is similar to windows so it might be a decent alternative.For debugging (especially C++) I don't know of anything that rivals VS though.

Jumping in late to shill for notepad++. Yes the dev are insufferable retards. I'm worried they'll lock it someday in spite or because their meds ran out. A main thing for me is the shortcuts for moving text around, like moving one row up or down. Multi line editing. Also regex search and replace. And marking and copying lines where certain text exists. Nothing on Windows competes, and I'd like to hear Linux equivalents that aren't just emulating Windows software.
