Notepad++ as a linux snap app

gwarah

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?

\o/ It’s available

sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus

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

I’m kinda curious why that was your reaction?

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
