On Linux, I use Geany as generic GUI text/script editor. Give it a try.

I'll try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Mainly IrfanView and Notepad++. So far I haven't found a lightweight image

Dang, IrfanView is some SRS BSNS, they've even put it on snapcraft.io/irfanview

What is "SRS BSNS"? (Serious business?)

And IrfanView has been around for a long time.. I've been using it since around 2002, maybe? After 24 years, I'm very used to using it. :)

Have you seen Nomacs(.org)? There's also XnViewMP and gthumb, that I saw...

I've installed XnViewMP, although I haven't used it a whole lot yet. And I haven't seen Nomascs or gthumb..

For Notepad++ replacement, DM's recommendation of Geany is good. Also, if you have plenty of resources, Sublime Edit can be pretty nice. I know there's a paid version, but I just use the free one and haven't run into any roadblocks. I use Geany on my shitty AMD A6 laptop with 4gb ram :).

I plan to try it out. :)
