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.

I've been using sublime since forever as well; Atom never really felt like a valid alternative because it was so so slow. VSCode still feels kinda slow but not to a degree that gets to be annoying. Still I could never get used to it. It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts that I use heavily (alt + arrow keys for example) and takes forever to parse files (to make a list of all functions in the project for example).
I wish sublime would update more often and have all the cool new things that come to VSCode every other week, but at the end of the day it still works better and doesn't really lack anything that's actually useful (except maybe for a few months before st4 came out).
And so does Sublime Text: CTRL+SHIFT+U for inserting Unicode characters doesn't work in it. :(
I recently switched from ST4 to VS Code (Codium actually) because of this and because it's easier to set up a Python debugger.
I would imagine that setting up a python debugger would be the same on both since sublime also use vscode's debug adapter protocol.
It's basically one click in VS Code. It's more clicks in Sublime. 🤷♂️ Turning Sublime to a full blown IDE for a bunch of different programming languages takes work and I'm lazy.
