Notepad++ is utterly irrelevant. Sorry to be blunt but windows software distribution is hopelessly broken.
Linux software repos are also broken but there is much hope and variety of options. ;-)

@TrimTab@mastodon.social most Windows developers use this editor in place of the standard Notepad. It has a very large userbase and frequent updates, so I wouldn't describe it as irrelevant.

@TrimTab@mastodon.social modern Linux repositories use digital signatures (like OpenPGP), so they are indeed safer to use. I use both Debian and Fedora, and I can testimony the superior quality of the updates offered, in terms of timing and reliability. Indeed, trying new software is much easier this way! 🙂
