Notepad: Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Or if you like terminal windows: https://github.com/microsoft/edit

Paint: https://www.pinta-project.com/ seems to have Windows builds.

Calculator: https://qalculate.github.io/ is the best I know of.

VS Code isn't what I would call lightweight. It is 500MB of Chromium bloat doing a good job of pretending to be an extensible text editor.

That said, I learned to love it and I actually use Cursor.
