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.

    Ahh I guess if the target is being more IDE like then that kind of makes sense. I usually want barely anything but an editor with an LSP and auto formatter. I would be annoyed by the lack of BSD, Haiku, Illumos, etc support, but I guess if you don’t use those it doesn’t matter too much. Being closed source is still kind of a downer though for something like that, you would think they could adopt a scheme like some other paid software where you can pay for premade releases if you don’t want to compile it yourself
