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.

Yeah, I've tried Emacs actually. Since it's like a full GUI app, there's support. I just got too invested in Vim and don't wanna switch.
If you want CTL text layout support but want to use Vim, you can use a version of Emacs with Vim emulation extensions pre-installed. The easiest way to do this is to install Doom Emacs or Spacemacs which do all the tricky configuration things necessary to make it work and feel more consistently like Vim, and it just works out of the box.
I tried it a few years back but gave up because I couldn't get it to work the way my vim setup used to. May be I should give it a try again sometime.
Have you tried gvim?
Tried a lot of neovim GUIs. The only one that sort of works is Onivim2. It just has some spacing issues. It really looks promising. Super fast compared to VSCode variants.
