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.

You can configure Helix to behave a lot more like vim quite easily, beyond the default keybinds which are already quite similar. You can even revert to vim-style normal/visual modes, rather than Helix's "select by moving approach" if you really can't stand that.
After being a vim then neovim user for many years, I fully made the switch to Helix, using some options from the config I linked, and there are only a few minor things I miss.
You can only do that if you don’t use any plugins that Helix doesn’t have equivalent functionality for.
