    Comments about Notepad as an Alternative to Pluma
     
    John Fastman

    Notepad and Pluma do exactly the same thing: they are simple text editors. In that respect, one is a perfect replacement for the other. However, Notepad comes bundled with Windows, Pluma with the Mate deskop environment for several Linux distros. You'll never switch operating systems because of a text editor like this, so in practical terms, they aren't alternatives. Try Atom.
