From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

is there not a single other person who uses helix?

Helix's editing model is so much better than vim's. I would probably use it if it was be closer to a drop-in replacement for vim. I really hope this neovide issue gains some traction because I don't think I can daily drive anything that isn't as smooth as neovide again.

I simply have too much vim config and muscle memory to ever leave vim

I'm trapped in a prison of my own making!
