Looking for Notepad++ in Linux?
Unfortunately, Notepad++ is available for Windows platform only. At work, where I have to use Windows, Notepad++ is my favorite text editor. And at times I miss Notepad++ in Ubuntu.

What are the alternatives to Notepad++ on Ubuntu?

1. To add the PPA, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

ubuntu terminal codes: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:notepadqq-team/notepadqq

or by running below commands one by one:

ubuntu terminal codes:
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install notepadqq

And you can receive future updates of this editor just as part of system updates via Software Updater.

Did you try Atom? https://atom.io/

ubuntu terminal codes: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/atom

ubuntu terminal codes:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install atom

Or, did you try Sublime Text?? http://www.sublimetext.com/

ubuntu terminal codes: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer

Sublime is not free and sometimes when using it displays a notification to buy it. But, you can “evaluate it” as much as you want. (Sublime website says “There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation” )
