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.

Helix
I've never heard of helix before, is it any good?
Imagine vim designed today.
I use it daily and think so. Best part is that it dose not need any plugins to be a modern editor. Just configure any LSPs you want and it all just works including things like fuzzy finding, multiple cursors, file browsing etc.
This all being said a plugin system is close to being added. :)
Which, for those not already knowing, is basically a reboot of VIM.
