| >>409207 I use sublime because atom crashes when I open giant log files, sublime handles them totally fine with barely a stutter even when searching

Try Emacs or {G,N}Vim. They're the most powerful and fastest editors out there. They also don't rob you of your freedoms, and don't nag you.
| >>409399 I can never remember the vim keybinds, and isn't emacs kinda trying to do way to many things at once; though I'd love to run something else, I currently use vscode for actual coding and just use sublime for logs, configs, normal text editor stuff

Enter "Vimtutor". It comes with Vim and teaches you everything you need to know. You don't have to use Vim directly though. There's Plugins for all your other editors which emulate Vim key navigation. Vim keybinds are without a doubt faster than using arrows keys and the mouse.
As for Emacs, it can do alot, but it doesn't do things you don't tell it to do.
Bottom line is they're both powertools. You have to invest some time learning how to use them.

Is there anything against Sublime? I thought it's the danger/tech/-preferred editor that isnt vim/emac
I mean if they say Notepad or Atom, I'll laugh with you
| >>410034 >>410123 Can i ask what's wrong with notepad? It's just a text editor, you don't need it to have millions of features, do you?
| Steam for games (duh)
GOG Galaxy for more games (DRM-free)
Origin for shitty games
Uplay for shittier games
itch for indie games
| >>410131 notepad is too basic, notepad++ highlights code, can be themed, and I believe can even execute shell commands akin to vscode
| >>410131
I guess it's fine if you're not a programmer, although you still should save yourselves from Windows.
| >>410131 notepad doesn't even support non windows newlines, so if you open a text document with them all the text just runs together on one like
| Portableapps.com for portable apps
| Captcha: opium gay oreo
Just leaving it here
| ColorCop
| ShareX
| OBS for screen streaming/recording
| AutoRuns and Process Explorer are the best and most useful tools coming from sysinternals
| paint.net for image editing
irfanview for light image editing, batching, etc.
Rufus for various iso booting
Firefox or ungoogled chromium
AutoCAD for, well, CAD
MS Office (if you're using Windows you might as well)
OneDrive (see above)
Notepad++
| >>411699
>>MS Office
Really? Aren't the new Office apps SaaS now? I think LibreOffice is already pretty feature-complete.
