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.

"Mini Text" is a tiny scratchpad utility for Linux that I've found to be quite useful. I thought it might appeal to some others in this community.

I've been using an app named "Mousepad" for filling the role of a light weight temporary textholder. Would be tempted to try this if it weren't for the fact that it can't save files. I've had many cases where I've realised I wanted to save text I've been working on, and I don't want to open something like vscode just to write a file.

Mousepad? The standard text editor on XFCE?

Gedit?
