Just for the benefit of other readers, Notepadqq is one of the alternatives for Linux. However, there are a few features I really wanted from Notepad++, so I have installed it using wine. No problems there. Hopefully some day we’ll see a Linux release.
Last time I checked out Notepadqq, it was nothing like Notepad++, if what you want from Notepad++ are the features. Maybe it’s improved though. Personally I’ve found that with the right combination of settings and add-ons, the closest editors on Linux to Notepad++ are Geany (GTK) or Kate (KDE).
Geany is a stupidly underrated piece of software imo. I use it for pretty much everything other than my largest of projects. Even then I consider it lol
Notepadqq seems to be catching up to Notepad++. In my case the feature that I was sorely missing was the function list, as I am not a heavy macro/plugin user.
I’ll definitely check it out again then. As a dual booter (for now until I can’t update Windows 10 anymore), cross platform is ideal but otherwise as close as possible is the next best thing.
