so, microsoft released a new terminal plaintext editor called "edit", and it's actually really nice honestly, it feels a lot like classic notepad before they ruined it, but in the terminal. it works with either keyboard controls or the mouse. i'm guessing a lot of people will use this over notepad when it comes to windows 11

@mjdxp @thermia wait is it not windows only?

mjdxp

@oli @thermia nope, there's a linux build on the releases page. i wonder if it works with windows 10

mjdxp

@oli @thermia huh, it actually is compatible with windows 10. kind of surprised they didn't make it windows 11 only... even though there's no reason why it shouldn't run on windows 10

mjdxp

@oli @thermia unsurprisingly, it doesn't work on windows 7

olivia, :neofox_flag_sapphic: :neofox_flag_trans:

@mjdxp @thermia not even if it's compiled locally?
