I think kwrite on kde. Arch may come more barebones though.
It's hard to point to one because linux isn't an operating system per se.. and many distros come with different software packages with different DE's. That's where a GUI text editor's home is, so it depends on that, the distro.
Kwrite supports Markdown just fine, actually better than Notepad (it does syntax colouring and formatting as you type), although I'm not sure if it can display the formatted file.
