Vim is one of, if not the most popular text editor among Linux users, when it comes to coding, editing configuration files, and generally writing on the command line, vim is the go to. Hell, I’m writing this in vim right now. So, in order to improve the experience, vim has many plugins that you can install to add features or change how things work. Excluding colorschemes, I am going to explain 5 of the best vim plugins that I personally use, and how they could improve your vim experience.

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.

Cool, I’m going to try some of these. I’m no power user or programmer but I do find vimdiff my main way of checking checksums of files I download
Just a little tip:
If you’re looking for a more powerful completion engine that can also use LSP, I would recommend COQ
It’s a bit more of a hassle to set up, but it’s definitely worth it! Made me switch to nvim as my goto IDE
On NeoVim, I use
kyazdani42/nvim-tree.luafor a tree, and alsoitchyny/lightline.vimwhich are lighter than Nerd Tree and Airline, respectively. I also use the native LSP stuff instead of VimCompletesMe.
