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.

    VSCodium, or some similar VSCode build/derivative.

    I know, I know, but the critical mass is just so useful. As a random example, there are specific extensions to support game modding in Paradox scripting language, or Rimworld XML. Nothing else has so many random niches filled.

    It’s fast with big files (faster than anything I’ve tried other than ‘specialized’ log readers and such), it’s a fast search, it’s got good git support, it’s got support for sudo file editing…

      I don’t know the VSCode ecosystem at all – but you you know the emacs one?

      Pretty much everyone at work is using VSCode, maybe this is a good opportunity to dive in, thanks.
