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.

Anyone care to compare this with Helix?
Very first impressions since I literally just downloaded before writing this, and haven't read the manual, I may change my mind with more experience.
Going to check out if there's git integration, because I couldn't easily find it.
Git integration seems to be so embedded that it's easy to miss. Open a git repository folder and you can switch branches and whatnot. But, like, in the command palette, there's no Git > Pull or Git > Clone as in vscode. (I have barely scratched the surface so it might be there hiding in plain sight.)
What other VCSs are supported?
