Having switched to linux, np++ is one of the programs I miss the most.
Inb4 'just use [insert software here] instead'; yes I know alternatives to np++ exist. And I know wine exists. I don't miss np++ enough to go that route

Yep same here. I've tried Notepad Next, Notepadqq, and notepad++ with wine. Each had their own quirks/issues (no dark mode, crashes, GUI glicthes). Now I'm just using vscodium for everything. While vscodium isn't as simple as np++, (there are a lot of extra features you'll never need when editing a simple txt) it gets the job done without any issues
