From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Need text editor advice (lemmy.world)

I am a big fan of Notepad++ in windows and I have been using Notepadqq, a linux clone. Lately though, I have been experiencing more and more crashes and bugs with it. Looking for advice and wisdom. Is there something better? Should I stick it out and try and troubleshoot my problems with Notepadqq?

Edit: Just wanted to thank everyone for all the great advice! I know people can sometimes be territorial and/or religious about their choices here, but people in this thread were helpful and informative, so thank you!

I am trying out Notepad Next but I also installed Notepad++ with Wine. Both seem promising, thanks.

If you want a GUI, Kate is my favorite. Otherwise Neovim

I have been using kate a bit and it has been a decent experience so far.

Try Kwrite. I've liked it a lot more than Kate.

I get random crashes from kate in the last few versions (appimage). But other than that, it's the best foss gui code editor.
