I’m using Mint too, and have tried installing Notepadqq and Kate. Notepadqq just crashes immediately even with the fixes I found online.
Kate is really good, just be aware that the version in the Mint repo doesn’t save the session automatically. It can save it, but only manually, and only for saved files. It doesn’t recover files that haven’t been saved yet like Notepad++ does.
You could try Notepadqq, which is similar and runs natively on Linux
Edit: just learned this isn’t actively maintained anymore :/
Honestly, I think gedit might be the best play.
True, or Kate, definitely solid
