You need to eat the upfront cost of learning to use vim's keybindings effectively. Once you've done that, you can edit text files quickly and efficiently on any Linux box from the last 30 years or so. Having an editor you can run right in the terminal, Ctrl+Z out of to run some commands, and then `fg` to keep hacking away is an incredibly powerful way to make using the terminal much lower friction.
Beyond that?, I just run LazyVim unmodified. It supports Copilot out of the box, which was my killer feature for it. Last year I even wrote a set of shell scripts I can curl into any new Ubuntu machine to fully automate all the setup for me, which might be of use to you as well, if you want to skip all the configuration. It also installs fzf, fd, rg, and a whole bunch of other useful tools all at once.
