I am someone who prefers to use simple rich text editors such as WordPad on Windows or TextEdit on OS X when taking notes on my computer. As such, Microsoft's deprecation and planned removal of already-installed copies of WordPad has left me somewhat uneasy, especially as there are no plans for a replacement¹. All hope is not lost for the future of familiar rich text editors on Windows 11, however:

1. Apple used to distribute the TextEdit.app sources with a FOSS license
2. A fork of the old FOSS version still exists as part of the GNUStep project
3. GNUStep has a Windows port

And that's the story of how I ended up running Apple's rich text editor on Windows 11

¹ You are expected to either lose the text formatting and use Notepad, or go all the way to Word.

my current naming scheme is based on the finnish names of months, going backwards from november (marraskuu '[omen of] death month', hence my current main computer being named marras '[omen of] death'). previously I used characters from the manga Another, and as I tend to not rename computers, still have two which used that naming scheme

before that one I just used names in the form <model>-<os>, and those I have replaced (e.g. ibookg3-mintppc → loka 'mud, dirt')

EDIT: Oh, and if you multiboot, do you use different hostnames for different OSs? I personally give the main OS the computer name without qualifiers while a secondary OS is <computer name>-<os>, e.g. marras-sortix

my computing setup circa 2013. the computer is a ThinkPad T20 with 650MHz Mobile Pentium III, upgraded to 20 GiB HDD and downgraded to 64 MiB of RAM by previous owners. the person I bought it from only needed the screen, but discovered it still booted just fine hooked up to an external display

it's still probably my favourite form factor for a computer. not really a mod I'd feel comfortable doing to most laptops tho
