Far better applications can be had on Windows if you just install KDE ones. Luckily, they're well-written enough that they tend to be pretty native cross-platform (hence Konqueror's rendering engine conquered the browser world).
== Pre-built ==
* [[ https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ | Kate (superior text editor) ]]
== Build it yourself ==
Also pretty easy to build things yourself, relatively speaking. See [[ https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows | the official documentation for Craft ]] for full details, but here's one approach:
# [[ https://www.python.org/downloads/ | Install Python ]], if you haven't already., probably choosing:
** {nav name="Install launcher for all users (recommended)", icon=check-square-o}
** {nav name="Add Python 3.x to PATH", icon=check-square-o}
** {nav name="Customize Installation", icon=arrow-right > Next > Advanced Options} :
*** additionally check {nav name="Install for all users", icon=check-square-o}
*** Change install location to something less weird like `C:\Python38-32` or such.
** Isn't there an option at the end to remove the path length limit? Hmm, not on the 32-bit exe maybe?
