So you're brand new to Linux and you're already hacking away at something you don't understand well. Good for you! That's how you learn ๐.
That being said, getting (as you're learning) and keeping software running in wine can be frustrating. I'd suggest using an open source alternative if possible. Hopefully the one others recommended is a good fit for you. And a bonus, one less piece of proprietary software you rely on, which imo is always a good feeling.
Good luck, and welcome to Linux!
Thanks, man. Well it's on its own hd and I don't have anything important on it, so why not mess around. I've been wanting a Linux box since 2000 haha finally got my dream.
Do you reckon it's worth trying to install any of these? XD
I got notepad++ to install via play on Linux, so I think it's just this particular program that's not cooperating.

This is the exact same issue I'm having. In the end I just installed all my art stuff on Windows :(
Oh man trying to run old Linux software on a modern distro would be a painful experience!
Your desktop environment may already come with a capable text editor with syntax highlighting and all that. You should give a go.
Oh the notepad thing was just a test to see if it was me or the software. I wonder if Linux has something like the old htmlkit. I never did find anything to replace it on Windows.
I like to reference the list of applications on the arch wiki when I'm looking for a specific type of software. I don't know if it's the best resource for this purpose, but it works for me.

I do see a couple of HTML editors listed.
I've saved the link, thank you!
