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.

If only Helix would have vim mappings and a plugin system, it would kill neovim over night...
In it's current state, it's only suitable for people who don't need any plugins. So if you want a plugin for picking a virtual environment in python for example, you just can't do it in Helix.
I don't know, to me it's really limited without any form of plugins. I truly wish it had a plugin system because tons of people would write high quality rust plugins.
Helix having vim mappings would defeat the purpose. But once you do
hx --tutorit's super easy and intuitive coming from vim/nvimWhat means "vim mappings"? I only ever used helix so I supposed it has the same key bindings as vim?
Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.
