I'm trying to make the transition from Windows to Ubuntu to escape the botnet. It's going more smoothly than I anticipated, and I've found equivalents for most of the things I need to do.
One thing that I haven't found yet, though, is a text editor I like quite as much as Notepad++. One of the features I'm fond of is the session being automatically saved to temporary files so I can close Notepad++ without needing to overwrite the files I'm currently working with. Are there any Linux text editors that offer that functionality?

I hope you turned off Amazon dash results and haven't installed any nonfree software, anon.
Try Geany btw
Geany definitely.

Literally the first thing I did after installing.
>and haven't installed any nonfree software
Aside from the binary AMD driver, I'm clean. Close enough for me.
>Geany
I tried that but didn't immediately see an option to automatically save the session like Notepad++. Did I just miss it?

Unless you was launching it with -s switch, yes, you miss it somehow.

You're asking the wrong question. Just leave your text editor running.

You have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. Only criminals would leave Windows for its protections against illegal activities.

Well, I see it can open previously open files, but requires you to overwrite the files or you lose your changes.

Atom's save-session package seems like exactly what I'm looking for, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to actually work. Atom seems like a nice editor, though. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can get it working.

I mean, sure, as long as I don't need to reboot and never lose power unexpectedly.

Turns out Atom does actually do what I want. It just doesn't restore unsaved buffers, which is fine. This'll work, thanks.

I also use Notepad++ for Windows and Atom for Linux. They match quite well.
Although I much prefer N++.
try learning an editor like vim or emacs, its worth learning.

Pretty sure kate was the closest I got to notepad++ familiarity
>>51676252
If you have wine installed, you can use Notepad++ easily. Try Learning Vim or Emacs to, heir pretty handy as well, just cause you can customize them through plugins and their pretty much the de facto text editors for Unix-like systems.
