Why Linux Isn't Popular in Nigeria Yet

Honestly, if you've ever wondered why almost nobody in Nigeria runs Linux on their daily computer, it's pretty straightforward. Most people here touch a PC for the first time with Windows. That first experience sticks. Pretty much every laptop or desktop sold in shops comes pre-loaded with Windows. It's the default. Just like how Android phones got everyone hooked on Google accounts and Gmail, Windows became the standard here. Linux only pops up in school when teachers list "types of operating systems" – it's academic, not practical. Then there's the software side. The tools people actually use and learn – Microsoft Office, Photoshop, even VLC for media – are all built for Windows first. Games too. Trying to run popular stuff on Linux often means extra hassle, compatibility layers, or just giving up. People know Windows inside out: the shortcuts, where settings are, how it looks. It's comfortable. Switching feels like starting over. Companies buy...

The text editor I used instead of notepad and notepad++

Been stuck in the Notepad → Notepad++ loop for years. Quick notes in Notepad, anything with code or bigger files in Notepad++. But I recently tried Text Editor Pro and honestly… it’s kinda spoiled me now. This thing is free (optional donations), portable, and loaded. Syntax highlighting for pretty much every language/script you’d touch, multi-caret + synchronized editing, code folding, over 600 customization settings, 100+ skins. They even added an AI Chat inside the editor – feels futuristic for something that still looks and acts like a classic text editor. Other stuff I actually use: spell checker, image/PDF viewer built-in, Markdown/RTF/SVG preview, character map, numerical unit converter, side-by-side text compare, formatters for JSON/SQL/XML, converters, multi-directory support (including SFTP), and search results pane. It’s like someone collected every little tool I ever opened separately and put them in one spot. Latest version is 35.4.0, starts instantly, no nonsense...

The RISC-V Revolution: Qualcomm and Google's Joint Venture in Android's Future

Image
The Android ecosystem is on the cusp of a transformative shift toward RISC-V architecture. Google's announcement of official RISC-V support in Android, positioning it as a "tier 1 platform" alongside Arm, set the stage for this evolution.  Qualcomm has now joined the race, revealing plans to introduce the first-ever mass-market RISC-V Android System-on-a-Chip (SoC) in collaboration with Google.This groundbreaking "RISC-V Snapdragon Wear" chip represents a pivotal moment for both companies and Android's future.  RISC-V, an open-source architecture, poses a significant challenge to the dominance of Arm CPU architecture in mobile devices. The open nature of RISC-V makes it cost-effective and flexible, allowing companies to design their own chips without paying licensing fees. Amidst challenges and volatility within Arm's business model and global political dynamics, RISC-V offers an alternative that's gaining momentum. RISC-V could serve as ...
