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’m curious as well. Maybe I will re-consider neovim.
For my machines, I switched to NeoVim a while ago. There were certain instances when editing large files that Vim would lag and NeoVim doesn't. But I manage a lot of systems that are not my systems, so I use Vim on those.
I switched several years ago, back when neovim did async stuff and
:termand supported things like ALE before vim8 implemented similar functionality.So far, I haven't run into anything that neovim can't handle in my day-to-day, and it seems generally faster, but that's probably me falling for the "neo" in the name. Like how painting flames on the side of a car make it go faster.
