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.

Can also try helix! I think there is another one called kakoune but I haven't followed that for a long time
If you use Helix, use the nightly version from their flake since it has like a year's worth of updates compared to the last release. Or use Steelix if you want early access to plugin support.
Yeah Helix is cool. I was using it before i switched to Emacs.
