I am looking for a GUI text editor on Linux with a GUI which will allow me to connect to other machines via SSH and edit text files on these machines.

Is there such a thing or is there another way to do this with an encrypted connection?

    You could use vscode I suppose, a bit overkill as a basic text editor, but there’s an ssh/remote shell plugin that will work well, and I’m sure you’ll find other uses for it.

      I am considering vscode but it is overkill and too bulky for what I am looking for. Just want a simple text editor like notepadqq

        If you’re running the GUI locally, what makes it “too bulky”?

        FWIW, I believe emacs has good support for remote editing, though it requires more configuration than VSCode.

        My only other suggestion might be notepad++ under wine.

        It has, or had at one point anyway, an SSH/sftp function that was useable.

        Without testing it mywelf, im not sure how functional it would be under wine for your specific use case though.
