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.

I see the appeal of using something like NeoVim or Helix, but I don't even leverage all of the features regular Vim has, and it is pre installed on all the systems and equipment I use. It's plenty powerful for what I need, and now that I'm getting the keystrokes down it's awesome
vim all day
