Texteditors for Linux and Windows

Text editors are a vital tool for users who do not want to fire up a full office suite just to write notes, code, edit config files or open plain text files.

While special programs exist both for office work and coding, a simple text editor can be useful as an addition. Notepad++ and Notepadqq are our picks for this niche.

Notepad ++ -Windows

Notepad++ is a free (as in “free speech” and also as in “free beer”) source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GNU General Public License.

Notepadqq -Linux

Notepadqq is designed by developers, for developers. With its more than 100 supported languages, it is the ideal text editor for your daily tasks. The project is completely Free and Open Source.
