No plugins? Those are what give NP++ its real power and usability - for example I use the XML and JSON pretty print functionality daily (on Windows, on my work machine).

Otherwise Kate or Gedit are just fine for Linux.

Yes. My comment above.

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!

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

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

There's an official Notepad next, as others noted
