1You haven't mentioned which release you're using, nor which text editor you actually want; however Xubuntu comes with `mousepad` which is the Xfce text editor already (it's pretty good & the most efficient resource wise for use with the Xfce desktop as it uses libs already in memory as used by the desktop).. If you wanted to install `mousepad` via command, it would be `sudo apt install mousepad`. Since `mousepad` isn't available as *snap*, I'll use `gedit` as example, but to install a snap it's `snap install gedit` (`gedit` is available in *deb* format too so you can `apt install gedit`) – guiverc Jun 12 '21 at 06:58

Geany is a good text editor, that you can install with `sudo apt install geany`from the repository universe. – sudodus Jun 12 '21 at 07:25
