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?

    That functionality in emacs is known as TRAMP.

    https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/

    TRAMP stands for “Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol”. This package provides an easy, convenient, and consistent interface to editing remote files transparently, just as if they are local files. This extends to editing, version control, dired, and more.
