App recommendations

Posted by professoryaffle72@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 8 comments

Hi all, Need some app recommendations for a newly built Mint install: 1. A notepad application like Notepad++ or Windows Notepad that has tabs and persistence (so it keeps the data even when shut down and opened again without saving). 2. A quick and dirty paint program like Paint.Net. 3. An ebook reader that isn't browser-based that can read Kindle format. Thanks all.

kwrite, kate, or sublimetext Kolourpaint\* as opposed to u/zakazak's kolorpaint i'm sure you can find something

Sublime works, the other two don't support persistence. Trying Kolourpaint, thanks

I recently found *Notepad Next* on flatpak store. It's a Notepad++ clone with a lot of the similar layout operations. I would have loved to have it 9 years ago when I jumped into Linux, it was one of the apps I missed the most.
