Notepad==

Have you ever wanted to jot something down on a Unix system and wished the Windows Notepad were there? Or have you ever wanted autosave and line numbering on your Windows 10 system? Then you can use Notepad==! Notepad== is a quick and simple text editor for POSIX systems. On Windows, this is a better notepad that has more features than the built-in one. Notepad== has autosave and line numbering, making it easier to take notes. Additionally, it doesn't carry Microsoft's heavy AI and UWP bloat.
