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'm in a similar boat. The difference for me is that I can definitely tell times where I'm faster. But there are still times where I fumble around. I know that eventually, I'll be way faster using vim motions than I ever was without them.

When I first started actually trying to use it to do work, it felt pretty bad. But once I got over the hump it felt better.

I think I'm at the point where I'm at least as fast as I used to be, if not slightly faster.
