    Neovim is the way and here’s imo why:

    • Vim keybinds: yes, we take more time editing then actually writing text/code so it’s faster to use a modal text editor, you just have to learn it a bit at the start. Vim language is easy, you just tell it what you want it to do (ie. diw: delete inner word, ciw: change inner word etc.)
    • highly customisable, even if you don’t want to cherry pick your plugins and choose a config, there are many out of the box configured (lazyvvim comes to mind but there are many)
    • if you’re a developer you can find plugins for everything you need, debugger, lsp, autocompletion etc.








  • Not to mention drivers… many driver blobs are proprietary and if you can find an open source one, there is a chance it works partially or not at all. I have a spare phone and I’ve been hesitating between flashing either PostmarketOS (all FOSS drivers but without the android ecosystem) or LineageOS, or maybe both if I can achieve that.
