There's an official Notepad next, as others noted

Look at https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext

I used to use something called “notepadqq”. Not sure if it’s still around but it was a Linux port.

I thought it runs well in WINE? Not that a native port wouldn't be better, but that's pretty good.

After seeing how quickly those hooligans re-wrote Claude Code in Rust from the leaked sourcemap, I actually made a spec-driven Linux port using Claude Code, Kimi, and Codex just to see if it was possible.

Frankly, I thought I was the only human being on earth who used Arch but missed the comforting embrace of Notepad++, so I'm happy to share the fruits of my ~$200 worth of tokens if there's interest!
