I use Notepad++ on Linux, ran the installer, works, it auto updates just like it did on Windows, WINE enables it to run just fine. I use it every day for small files like my TODO, Notes and Scrap files.

But that is a recent developement? Some years ago the experience under WINE with npp was not great.

(might be also 10 years, since I tried it the last time)

Could be, I can't remember when it didn't run well but WINE has improved greatly the past 5 years especially.
