You won’t find a 100% replacement because npp has a bunch of very specific plugins, but often those plugins would be unnecessary on Linux because you already have other utilities that perform those jobs. You don’t need a plugin to ssh into a server to edit files when you’ve got sshfs for example.
What are good Notepad++ alternatives that run natively on Linux?
I’d say Kate
Kate is great. I even use it on Windows instead of n++

Anyway you can use Geany on Gnome or Kate on KDE.
There are better text editors. Swearing by that one is kind of a joke.
A must-be joke: vim
And seriously, Sublime
I use Zed Editor on a daily basis even though they push AI in it (it’s purely opt-in, thankfully)
For alternative software, I usually ask AlternativeTo : https://alternativeto.net/software/notepad-plus-plus/?platform=linux&license=opensource
Depends on what you want to do. I’m a dirty vim user and use nvim in the terminal. There are a lot of text editors though.
If its the ui you are looking for there is notepadqq
Kate is grate

Notepad++'s performance is one of the main reasons I run it under Wine despite the filesystem annoyances. VSCodium is not not nearly as responsive.
