Did you guys know about Notepadqq, a Notepad++ like editor for Linux? I just found out about it, and I was always longing for a editor like Notepad++ that is not only running on fucking Windows.

Looks like a good alternative to notepad++. I'm happy with Sublime but it is good to have options.

There is also gvim that works on Windows

There are soo many editors out there now that supports cross platforms.
Atom, VS Code.

Sweet! Will be getting this next time I need a virtualbox setup.

Use Sublime. It's good.

@shubhadeepb well it'll be his choice. You cannot just come and say use sublime. If he likes it he'll definitely use it.

@m3talpri3st haven't you read what he asked? 'I was always longing for a editor like Notepad++ that is not only running on fucking windows'. Sublime is close to Notepad++ which not only runs on fucking windows.

You may have other opinions, but you are no one to tell me what I can suggest and what I can't. If the post writer has problem with my suggestion, then only I will accept that as a valid opinion.

GEdit/Geany?

+1 for geany

What about KDE's KATE?

@Jop- I still like it though :). (although I did get updates for gedit a day or so ago O.o)
