Good Day. gEdit or sublime text 2 for text editor. Why Endless OS has Chrome instead of Firefox?

Hi!

We do provide GEdit in Endless OS already, you can find it in the app center under the name “Text Editor”.

I’m a Sublime Text user myself so I understand the desire to have it on Endless OS! At this moment it’s not possible to install through the app center, or put an icon for it on the desktop, but you can certainly install Sublime Text. Here’s what I do:

  • Download the 64-bit Linux “tarball” package from https://www.sublimetext.com/3.
  • Unpack it in your home directory.
  • In your terminal type ln -s ~/sublime_text_3/sublime_text ~/.local/bin/subl

Now you can start Sublime Text from your terminal using the subl command.

I don’t actually know the full reasons why we have Chromium instead of Firefox so I’ll leave that for someone else to answer :slight_smile:
