These are good alternatives for Microsoft's Notepad and Paint:

  1. For Windows:
  1. For Linux (and other operating systems):
  • KWrite (or Kate if you want to have more advanced features like Git integration, project explorer, extensions, etc.)
  • Pinta (it recently got a pretty good 3.0 update, with GTK4/Adwaita integration)

Kate is also available on Windows.

Almost any default text editor on Linux is better than Windows notepad, and many are straight up better than Notepad++
