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.

For quick edits in the terminal? Sure.
As my main IDE? No way. I'm too used to GUI IDEs like VSCodium and PyCharm.
I just find it easier to navigate with a mouse. With just keyboard, I find I overshoot the block of code I'm looking for, whereas scroll wheel gives me more control.
} jump forward to next empty line is really quick for navigating, also if you know the identifier then /myVarnnnn is much faster than scrolling and gets you ready to edit. Otherwise 5j;;;; also works of course.
