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?

    Why not set up X forwarding and use whatever is on the host machine? Assuming the host has X installed.

      Isnt X being replaced with wayland? I may do that in the future once wayland is more adopted.

      However I would like to achieve this on headless servers with no GUI at all.

      I prefer using Rustdesk if I have to remote into a machine and see the machines GUI.

        a remote running X isn’t needed in order to tunnel x apps to your machines
