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.

Vim and helix have different keymappings for the same tasks, for example to delete a word, helix you type wd, but in vim you type dw. As a vim user of like 6 years, I prefer the helix bindings after understanding them. But the reason I say helix having vim bindings would defeat the point is that if you want vim bindings, just use vim or neovim with plugins. Those are both mature projects that will serve people who want vim bindings better, either switch to helix all the way, or don't imo
