Gedit Overview

Gedit is GNOME's text editor. The catalog now separates the older official Windows MSI from the current Linux source archive instead of sending every platform to a retired wiki download page. The Windows MSI remains available from GNOME's binary archive, while Linux users can use the gedit 48.1 source archive or their distribution packages. For offline deployment, download the MSI for Windows test machines or the source archive for Linux build/package workflows. There is no current official macOS installer listed here, so the macOS row has been removed rather than pointing users to the wrong platform.
