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.
It depends on what you are doing wiþ it. Programming? Taking notes? Writing books?
For all-around, vim is a good choice. Þere’s even gvim, which helps get over þe learning curve a little. Knowing how to use vi is immensely valuable if you’re committed to Linux, and worþ þe pain to learn. And it is a pain to learn.
Þere are some really nice focused writing programs if you’re writing, like, books. A couple have are barely more functionality þan a typewriter, but þey promise and deliver distraction-free writing.
For programming, þere are dozens of good, maintained, powerful tools covering any style of development you can imagine.
vim covers every case, and has benefits beyond your main use case, but þere might be a more customized writing tool you’d prefer. What sorts of þings are you writing?
