Looking for a fast, lightweight, and modern open-source code editor that runs great on Linux, even inside a VM? In this video, I walk you through installing and using Lapce, a Rust-powered editor that feels like a future-proof successor to Atom. We’ll explore its speed, UI, Tree-sitter highlighting, integrated terminal, and real-world scripting workflow on Arch Linux. Whether you're a developer, a homelab tinkerer, or someone who just wants tools that respect your system resources, Lapce might be exactly what you've been searching for.
