Helix is strongly inspired by vim, but it is not attempting to be a drop-in replacement, and it is not possible to configure it to have the same behavior as vim with custom key-bindings because there are many things that work fundamentally differently between the two editors.
It's a soft fork trying to catch up with the main codebase. It feels like a second class citizen. Features introduced in Helix might not be intended for usage with vim keybindings anyway.
Its keybindings aren't identical to vim. They're very similar in many places, but are also different in quite common things like deleting lines etc. (dd vs xd)
Wait what? I didnt realize this was the case and I say this as a huge alpine fan. Will look into whether there is an option to setup a recurring donation and will do so if its the case.
Based on my experience, more recent kernel versions have more fixes/better support for recent hardware(or sometimes not so recent). LTS doesn't backport everything from later releases for obvious reasons.
Expecting hardware companies to get things ready so much ahead of time that they make the cut for a LTS release might lean towards being too unrealistic since LTS releases have a fair bit of gap between them.
If its not in debian and fedora main repo proper, its not open source as far as I am concerned. We can argue about the semantics but this filter is great at removing a bulk of the projects that will tip over the moment the company championing it pivots or fails.
This looks super interesting. I built https://github.com/finos/perspective in a past life but have been out of the streaming analytics game for some time. Nice to see single machine efficiency be a focus, will give this a try and post feedback on github.
