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?

    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.
