Just works, and there's no fussing around with github-flavoured markdown (and the janky 'rich-text modes they include). Drawing is seamless and not some extra step or plugin, and sync is so fast it's practically real time from one machine to another. The greatest software Microsoft has created other than Excel.
inb4 retard not posting the transparent logo.
>>108682746You're a retard for having a strong preference for a thing for grocery lists. Probably a fag got too.
>>108682840I do have a strong preference, because I tried everything out there and found that nothing compares with OneNote, especially if your needs exceed 'muh shopping list.' OneNote is thus, perfect software.I'll include Excel too without further elaboration.
MSO has been dogshit since 2007 and anyone who says otherwise is baiting
Next we have Visual Studio Code. It pretty much became the de facto editor for everyone with even seasoned Emacs veterans dropping their cruft filled .configs for a modern solution that did everything with sane defaults. Anyone writing a plugin these days is going to target VSCode first.
>>108682893 forget pic>>108682884Not at all. They solidified their advantage with their online sync features, eliminating the stupidity involved in sharing files around by email.
FOSS can be good too, so next up is VLC.
Goes without saying.

>>108683452>If you know, you know.Ltspice is a fucking clusterfuck of decades old code held together with ductape kek. It does work well enough for what it does but Qspice has more features and afaik it also simulates better, though take my word with a grain of salt in this regard because I haven't worked very extensively with it compared to LTspice. Qspice is also made by the dude that made LTspice btw.
>>108685005>a fucking clusterfuck of decades old code held together with ductapeI really hate this glib phrasing. You could apply it to almost any successful software project, and it just means nothing. Anyways I’ll checkout Qspice.

>>108686436Best take itt so far.If you need anything more than a text file for taking notes, you're captured.
>>108693741But my second brain...
>>108688574Markets can be retarded, just like you. The success of vscode is a perfect example. It's just good enough to appeal to zoomer masses with dumb features that juniors think they need like a file explorer and minimap and excessive syntax highlighting. But is also slow and uses a retarded amount of system resources (RAM and CPU aka battery life), for no better performance than ancient and famously bloated editors like Emacs.Maining VSCode is one of the biggest tells you're dealing with a midwit slop slinger.

>>108696661Point is Everything is really fast and you can just type and show results instantly.There's this tool which does mimic ithttps://github.com/cardisoft/cardinalHowever it is somewhat slower

>>108696686FAF is really fast considering it doesn't have an indexing service like Everything but I'll check cardinal too, looks promising.
the only reason i haven't switched to linux is because onenote does not work there. finna buyder a mac mini instead eventually
I know it had a exploit recently, but this is an amazing piece of software never had issues.
>>108683971Close, but Solidworks is better.
>>108693520Wish there is a Linux equivalent.
>>108696845I have heard that OneNote for Mac isn't as good as the Windows desktop version. I use it on the iPad for Pencil support, but something to look into. There's nothing out there which even comes close to OneNote, but I do keep a lookout for potential replacements. Of the FOSS choices, the only alternative is Joplin (Works everywhere, plus ipad). There's support for canvas, but it's distinct from everything else in the document. These are SVG and the overall structure is dictated by the limits of github-markdown. For sync you have their system, clouds, but it's basically webdav. It's not instant like OneNote.
>>108682737BleachBit, does what it says, then fucks off.EverythingSearch, MicroJeets could never make somthing this good.foobar2000, the purest music player that exists.JPEGView, the purest image viewer that exists.mpv, the purest video player that exists.
>>108696691cinnamon is perfect software. at LEAST one of the utilities from kde/gnome can be considered perfect software, and if you say otherwise you're just lyingnow cope
Probably gonna get comments, "7-Zip is better" and true it probably is in some scenarios but I need my archives to be books and its been more reliable for me in my experience and it handles .tar.gz files better than 7-Zip plus recovery stuff
>>108697050I used to use JPEGview but I highly reccomend qView as it is pretty similar and it is more frequently updated.
>>108697112Ay, looks good, will check it out.
This operating system, you Linux guys can shut up for a sec, even though I use Linux I have never been so happy to use an operating system, stable af and windows aero. MS ruined it at the end by adding edge and telemetry updates
>>108697206No worries, I was a heavy JPEGview user and thats what I know use just install the portable version to test to see if it suites your needs :)
>>108696845Onenote on the mac is abandonware unless you use the (paid) 365 version. Youre better off with the default Notes.app at that point
>>108682737foobar2000 is still the best music player and has features none of the rest have

>>108698928The double click moves up to the first non-empty cell in a column (and if you double-click again, it'll jump back) . For editing a cell, I'd probably just hit F2. Not sure what's going on with the ISBN issue.

>>108682869excel is the ONLY thing Windows has going for it, and theres still plenty of ways to use it on LinuxI fucking love excelbest piece of software in the history of computingnothing else has greater impact or usefulness
>>108683282It has its purpose. I 100% agree. You can even share notes. The checkboxes just work and since it's Google you can add notes from a Windows laptop or Android tablet and pick up immediately on an iPhone. Much better than Apple Notes AND my sync thing server, for very specific tasks I need to quickly propagate >
NOT for "second brain" workflow-maxxing configfags. Literally just make a vault, add folders for different subjects, add dated entries separated by subject. I use it at work. Vault name is WORK. Folder: Project A. Inside: 26-03-21 kickoff, 26-03-22 arch research, etc. I have another vault called PERSONAL, which I put whatever in. CLI recipes, docs, blogs, info about my hardware.
>>108699313True, but as the street shitters ruin the OS more and more, I’m going to have to look elsewhere. OnlyOffice is a close attempt, but doesn’t have the performance.
>>108699508>just pay me $4 to sync your notes, fagnah, id rather use that on coffee. OneNote works enough for work and Apple Notes aint even my first option on iphone, Reminders is overlooked and at the sametime overpowered.
>>108699040the isbn thing happens because it takes any big number and converts it into scientific notation automatically. in an xls file it's not a big deal since I'm pretty sure it still stores the raw number, but if you import a CSV, make some changes, and save it back as a CSV, it fucks everything when it writes out the plain text again.Supposedly the newest subscription versions of excel have an option to disable automatic sci notation. But it took them 20 fucking years to add a basic toggle, and any version I run doesn't have it
>>108699821Ah I see, I was imagining the ISBNs retained their - characters. Certainly the latest version will prompt you if you want to auto-convert. The better modern way is to load the CSV as a data-source and then change the column type before import. It’s power-query but with a GUI to write the transformation for you.
