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 can see the beginning of something truly great in this editor. It's going to become better than VS code in a year.
It's already great for some languages like Go and Rust.
VScode is proprietary and slow. If you are using something like that you should use VScodium
But aren't both the same speedwise?
Yes but one is libre without telemetry
I hope that's true, but it will be an uphill battle for them to get people to move. VS Code is already pretty good.
