So I’ve been trying to find a text editor that’s blazing fast with as little features as possible that doesn’t look like it was designed in the '90s.

I would like something that when I click on my files it opens almost instantly and only displays text in a notepad without any buttons tools, or just the bare minimum (like create a new file or something like that). I want this to read .txt files and that’s it, if I’m working on a writing I’d use LibreOffice and if I’m writing some code I’d use Atom.

    What about Mousepad or Featherpad? Gedit, Pluma, Geany are a little more featured but still good and snappy. Cudatext is like a mix of simple editor and Atom-like code editor. But it’s one of the faster editors I’ve used.

      I’m using Gedit now, it has another name on Flathub I think, but all the rest seem too bloated, full with buttons and shit, I’d basically like to have text displayed as minimalist as possible.

      This is how it looks now, but if I could get something with less, without, or that those buttons on the title bar disappear when I’m not using it would be perfect (Foliate does this for e-books, but it’s too slow for .txt files).
