Using Vim in my project has really helped my skills in that editor. That's what working with a couple dozen small Vim files per day will do for you.

I had to ssh into a server yesterday and set up a small script and a cron job, and I could feel how different that process was now that I can do more with Vim.

I can move around in files much more easily, and I know the basics of copy/move/paste, which is more than I could say before.

Clojure is trying to push me in the Emacs direction, and maybe I could get comfortable with that editor, but the universality of Vim/Vi is hard to ignore.

I got NordVPN working via OpenVPN in Fedora Linux. It wasn't as easy as in Windows, where there's a turnkey app, but these instructions worked both in the console and via NetworkManager, and I recommend you use the latter. https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/openvpn/
