hi, im trying to find a very light "notes to go" for Zorin or any Ubuntu that equivalent to Notepad in Windows. what i mean is like click then -zap!- open already. so im not going to wait for like 15 sec to open LibreOffice or OnlyOffice.... any input appreciated.
ps. and where can i download it? is it from Zorin Software app?
thanks
You can try gnote
sudo apt install gnote
Isn't there a simple text editor installed by default? Or, if you're looking for something to sync between devices you can download simplenote (https://simplenote.com/) or install it using the Zorin software app.
gedit by default, zaps when I open it 
Just search for the word text and geddit comes up in the list.
Quick simple, all you asked for.
You mean something near notepad++? I wondering if in Zorin is something near that software?
snap packages have notepad++
Easily Install Notepad++ on Ubuntu and other Linux Distros or using a wine.
3 second start notepad. Well if you have old PC could be a longer.
gnote is a fantastic note-taking application,
the only thing I don't know is where its files are stored,
if I want to copy them to another computer
Have you checked ~/.local/share/gnote?
I don't know how to get there.
Is there a GUI way to find the gnote files?
Yes, you can use your file manager.
The files and folders that are "hidden" from regular view have a period in front of the name. Examples: .config, .cache, .local...
The tilde symbol (~) is Linux shorthand for the Home Directory. The slash (/) means Directory.
So, when you see tilde: ~/Downloads
That means your Home folder - Downloads Directory.
To reveal Hidden files and folders in your home (~) directory, tap ctrl+h
You should then see the examples I gave above. Double click .local, then share and look for a folder named gnote.
If you want, you can re-hide the .files and .folders with ctrl+h.
I opened the file manager but they was no /gnote
in local/share
That's weird. Have you been using the Gnote application?
notepad++ can be started from wine with .exe installation.
Notepadqq This is linux version notepad++
I've never used gnote and I have the file on my system.
You selected show hidden folders in the file manager, yes?
Your folder looks rather empty... odd.
You may want to reinstall gnote and see if that helps.
Do you mean reinstall gnote, using synaptic package manager?
You can reinstall it any way you like, through the store, synaptic or terminal.
But something is off about your install if that is all the files you have in your local/share
