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.

Oh wow, this is really nice. I was using System Monitoring Center but this is so much nicer. My only complaint is no CPU temperature display but that's not a huge loss.
Windows had 2 pieces of software that didn't have a better alternative in Linux, now I just gotta find something like Notepad++ and I'm good.

That looks cool
Maybe something like vim or emacs? Idk if they have tabs for different open files though
Yep, in Vim you can have different tabs (buffers) opened and switch between them
Oh cool! TIL! (Well I knew but I forgot lol) But yeah I miss how notepad++ saves what you had open before
I have tried both and I absolutely don't understand why people use those. Most IDEs work better in my opinion and for just editing text files nano is better. A lot of people way smarter than me use em but I don't see the appeal.
Idk I just kinda got used to neovim and made a custom color scheme too lol (although I'm still learning), but I might go and try out Geany again, I haven't used it in a while. And I don't use neovim for everything, I use vscodium for editing stuff like html and css
How about Vscodium?
Nah, I'm looking for a nice text editor, not a full on IDE. Something I can quickly open to change config files and stuff that has good formatting and can also auto detect the formating. By the time vscode boots up I have gotten bored and done the changes in nano.
Micro is a quite nice replacement for Nano: https://micro-editor.github.io/ but Notepadqq looks interesting too.
Have you tried Bluefish? I started using it recently for editing a web app, and I really like it. It loads quite quickly on my laptop, and it's got a mini file browser on the left hand side that lets you open files directly with a double click. Handy for when you need to edit a few files at a time :)
Kate is great!
I use Kate for this, but I agree there is an even better simplicity and speed with Notepad++.
For a good task manager, btop is really good.
Editor: helix
Have you tried Geany? It's been my go-to editor.
What does notepad++ offer that other tools don't?
Nice formating for config files and instant boot up when opening said files.
I always wished someone would port Notepad++ over to Rust and hopefully make it cross-platform.
I am testing Lapce and I can see it as an alternative in the future
