Kate (the KDE GUI editor) is pretty light and surprisingly competent if you set it up right. It has diff capability including git diffing.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

Thanks, I'm trying Kate and I installed git to get the diff going, but I can't actually edit one doc live and see the change on the spot across the two docs. Is Kate capable of this?

Update: It appears incapable of live-editing docs. VSCodium wins again, unfortunately. I really wanna get away from VSC because it seems much heavier on the system than anything else I've found...
