Seriously, just stop (or use Linux)

Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it easy to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!

What’s the equivalent in Linux? I’m using an Arch-based distro with KDE, the only editor I can see is Kate, but I might be missing something due to the Linux naming conventions.

I think kwrite on kde. Arch may come more barebones though.
It’s hard to point to only one because linux isn’t an operating system per se… and many distros come with different software packages with different DE’s. That’s where a GUI text editor’s home is, so it depends on that.

Kwrite supports Markdown just fine, actually better than Notepad (it does syntax colouring and formatting as you type), although I’m not sure if it can display the formatted file.
