    People, some windows app are available on Linux as a snap package. I believe that this package manager downloads a wine embedded to allow this. The question is is there any hope to notepad++ become a snap app for soon?

        Might be of interest for @donho to add it to the n++ website.

              Sure @chcg. Npp snap uses an embedded wine and its site has a section to support notepad++ and others windows apps running on it. Furthermore, there is the GitHub page of this solution.

              I also suggest him anything about these issues in npp site.

              By the way, I’m correcting the snippet before. Font: GitHub page](https://github.com/mmtrt/notepad-plus-plus)

              sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus
              sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:hardware-observe
              sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:removable-media
              sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:process-control
              sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:cups-control

                @cmeriaux, maybe would be interesting you share your brilliant pieces of knowledge instead impact notes.

                Have a nice day.

                  because the command is so easy and it works on the first shot. It’s quiete impressive for a such feature.
                  Thanks for the tips
                  Cheers

                    Hi,
                    after

                    sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:process-control
                    

                    I got

                     cannot resolve connection, slot snap name is empty. 
                    

                    What does it mean? Why do I get this message? Thank you

                      Wish I had found this thread earlier! I’ve been wanting this for some time…

                      The most recent versions of this snap do not seem to work very well on Ubuntu VMs (both VirtualBox and VMware). After several days of trouble-shooting, someone recommended installing the usual Windows version with Wine, and that got things working properly - see the answer I posted to my own Ask Ubuntu question, and my follow-up comments for some additional setup suggestions.
