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 those who have tried Kakoune, once you've included things like Treesitter and the clangd language server, which one feels faster, Kakoune or Neovim?
I'm still a Neovim main but one thing that I find interesting in Kakoune is their "client/server architecture" which apparently allows you to have one master Kakoune instance and multiple slave instances that would be in sync, kind of like how you can have multiple windows in any modern IDE (I'm not sure if Kakoune shares the clipboard with all of those instances?). That thing is still not available in Neovim (or Vim for that matter), which is a pain in multi-screen setups.
I haven't tried this yet, so I can't answer on Kakoune, but it was something that bothered me in neovim. I use a tiling window manager, and like having the editor tiles be managed by the tiling app. I'll try that out sometime
I just tried it right now, you create a session when opening your file the first time
kak file.cpp -s name_of_your_session
, and then on the other windows you connect to that session withkak -c name_of_your_session
. It really works, they share the same buffer and copy-pasting works just fine.
