#13That seems like an awfully convoluted way to get a text editor for Linux.
Don't think there's anything in the world that compares to Notepad++.
I used it for a long time but eventually I realized that it's only killer feature was the file tree on the left which most editors have anyway.

Other tools are not always an option. For example, I used CrossOver(Wine) to run WinMerge which had a plugin to support our company's workflow. Wine allowed me to stick with Linux without any time wasted.
Over the years, I've tried several native Linux alternatives. All of them would require a huge time investment to replaced the missing features.

The search across all open documents is very good.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but just in case, there are dozens of editors that are way better than notepad++. Feature rich ones like Sublime Text, or VS Code, or simple ones like xed / gedit.

Wine is at least a valid way to get sweet sweet video games for Linux like KOTOR, Half-Life 2, IL-2 Sturmovik and Call of Duty (examples from my low-end Intel graphics 4000 laptop).
(HL2 has run natively on Linux for many years just FYI.)

#18Using Wine on ARM computer to run Windows program, it even requires you to to custom build kernel, compile Windows program to ARM target, all for.. for a Text Editor? Really?
Come to think of it, When I converted myself to Windows user to GNU/Linux user, I studied a lot about Wine. All knowledge was unnecessary for I find GNU/Linux and its ecosystem is much better than Windows.

Sublime and VS Code are both huge in size and work rather slowly on older machines, despite being nothing else but text editors. I do support OP's statement - Notepad++ is the best text editor available(on windows).

VS Code has terrible performance. Are you the one who's being sarcastic?
