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.

Same, I switched to helix about a year ago, and do all my coding (except for android because of they don't make it easy to not use android studio).
I was on vim for decades, but helix is finally the one that's powerful enough to make me switch.
You can also use Intellij Ultimate, the only big missing features are project config if you have mismatched versions of Gradle/AGP/Kotlin as well as the profiler.
I tried it a few weeks ago and it actually has much less input lag and faster jumps than neovim did, which surprised me a lot.
So now I'm running ideaj again because it's actually faster than neovim once it's started... It's a strange world.
I switched away from Jetbrains editors a few years ago because they felt slow and laggy but I'm impressed now. Also I enjoy using something else than my colleagues who are all on VS code.
