@DJDarren yes, it's true, Linux is not an operating system designed for the masses. Personally I would go with MS Windows. I like not having to know anything.

Linux is only good if you are doing software #development, or other types of boring work. Then it's your go-to system. If you need the #BASH terminal all the time, use it. If you almost never need it, use #Windows.

The worst thing about #Linux is that it doesn't have #MSPaint and #Notepad.

"Notepad++ for Mac" release is disavowed by the creator of the original

To be clear: Notepad++ has never released a macOS version."

Ars Technica

أعلن دون هو، مؤسس برنامج Notepad++، عن استيائه الشديد من نسخة الماك غير الرسمية التي استخدمت علامته التجارية دون إذن مسبق. وأوضح هو أن البرنامج لم يصدر نسخة رسمية لنظام macOS، منتقداً تضليل المستخدمين باستخدام سيرته الذاتية. ورداً على ذلك، قرر المطور أندريه ليتوف إعادة تسمية التطبيق إلى Nextpad++ وتغيير شعاره وموقعه الإلكتروني لضمان الاستمرارية مع تمييزه عن النسخة الأصلية، مؤكداً التزامه تجاه المستخدمين الحاليين خلال هذه المرحلة الانتقالية الجديدة.
